It’s Official! Ultra Music Festival 2016 Live Stream Announcement

 

It’s official! One week to Ultra and not only will all the best DJ’s from around the world play at Bayfront Park, but we will be live streaming those incredible sets on YouTube! Yes, for the 5th year (4th year with me- but who’s counting?) we’ll be live streaming the Ultra Music Festival. This year will be bigger than ever. There are some really cool things happening, which I can’t say just yet, but seeing as these are normally the announcement videos- you can tell this is going to be different!

What I can tell you is that this Ultra Miami 2016 announcement video was a fun collaboration. Most of the UMFTV crew lives in Amsterdam, so the bits with Hardwell were shot in Europe. My stand up was shot in the United States. I produced the clip, hired the DP, and location scouted for the stand up. I absolutely love production, so it was wonderful to see everything come together. Oh, and there was a pug, and I’m obsessed with pugs, so… yeah, I’m pretty happy with how it came out.

Join the party! It starts everyday at 3pm EST March 18-20. And feel free to tweet me with the hashtag #AnybodyCanWatch xx

New Host of TV Land’s 100 Best Places

FotorCreated2

Hello Vegas!

Right after I got off the plane from Portland, I boarded another one set for Vegas. And yes, another announcement is coming…

I’m thrilled to announce I’m the new host of TV Land’s 100 Best Places!!

I’ll be showing you the coolest spots around the country- most of which you’ve never heard of before. Okay, yes, we all know about Vegas, but do you know about Slotzilla? It’s this awesome zip line that goes from one direction of Fremont Street to the other.

Now, I don’t have a lot of pictures from this shoot, but there’s a lot of video. It will be airing soon, so stay tuned, because I will definitely be updating this blog as soon as the video goes live- my reactions are kind of priceless. 😉

New Host of MLS’ Get Me In There!

IMG_2091(1)

Get Me In There! And boy did I go!

If the first few months are any indication of what 2016 has to offer, then this is going to be a good year. I’m so excited to announce that I am the new host of Heineken and MLS Soccer’s Get Me In There. It’s a digital series that brings an inside look at the fanIMG_2040s that drum, dance, sing, tailgate, and do whatever it takes to create the most dynamic match day atmosphere in Major League Soccer.

This is such a dream job! If you follow me, you know I love to travel and cheer, but what you may not know is that I’m an athlete first. I’ve been in sports all my life- from figure skating (where I was selected by Richard CallIMG_1988aghan to start training for the Olympic team- until I fell on my head and decided school might be a better option) to soccer where my natural ability to run and attack a ball made me a great defender. I was a Stopper, which no longer exists, but man did I stop! And when I didn’t, I ran really fast to make up for it. #SorryCoach

So it was an incredible honor to interview Nat Borchers, who is a talented defender and has also become the face of the Portland Timbers. I mean, with a beard like that, how can you not be a fan favorite? And spending five seconds with him, you realize he is so much more than the beard. He is a very nice, humble, smart man who treaIMG_2076ts everyone with not only respect, but an unbelievable amount of attention. They say Keep Portland Weird, but Nat says Keep Portland Beard- and I’d agree with that!

On the second day of our shoot, it was Game Day. The Portland Timbers opener was a rematch of the MLS Cup final with Columbus Crew- it was an insane game! If you look at the recap, you’ll see why. It can be hard to jump into a devout supporters group, but Whitney from the Timbers Army welcomed me in with open arms, helped me with all the songs, and even gave me a nifty scarf… which was much appreciated in the cold! I even got up close and personal with Timber Joey, who slices off a piece of the victory log after every goal. The atmosphere was insane. I can’t wait to show you the finished product when the video is all up.

Thanks Portland!

 

My New Show on Fox Sports!

Welcome to Q-Sport!

I’m so excited to be hosting a new show called Q-Sport that will be airing on Fox Sports affiliates in Europe!

Over the past year, I’ve been a Host and Senior Producer for The QYOU, a new international linear channel that airs premium online content similar to the way MTV aired non-stop music videos back in the day. It’s been such a privilege to find and promote incredible internet artists who spend hours upon hours creating amazing content. As The QYOU has matured, we are now putting out specialty shows like Q-Sport! And, it’s even cooler that we’re teaming up with big networks like Fox Sports. Yeahhhhhhh.

For 26 episodes, I’ll be guiding you through the most extreme sports videos from the internet. If you want a sample of what you’ll see, check out this and this.

Yeah- it’s crazy.

Q-Sport will start airing in select European territories in April on Fox Sports.

 

 

 

UMFTV Dash Berlin Interview is Live!

 

My exclusive interview with Dash Berlin front man Jeffrey Sutorius is officially live on Ultra Music Festival’s YouTube channel UMFTV! During Ultra Europe last year, Jeffrey and I spent an afternoon in the beautiful city of Split, Croatia to talk all things music- from his goosebump-inducing Ultra Miami set to his worldwide schedule to what keeps him grounded in the crazy DJ world. IMG_1099Website

And grounded Jeffrey is, because what you don’t see in the interview is that during our little walk through Split, he bought me a few keepsake magnets! Jeffrey said this is his go-to souvenir when traveling the world, but since he is such an avid traveler, he’s super picky about what magnets he picks up– or else he’d have to buy more refrigerators. That’s what I like to call #DJProblems.

Dash Berlin is always a huge favorite for our Ultranauts, so I hope you enjoy this in depth interview with one of the world’s most popular DJ’s!

 

If you’re new to the dance music scene, here’s a little information on Dash Berlin:

Dash Berlin is a Dutch trance music project created in 2007 by Jeffrey Sutorius, Eelke Kalberg and Sebastiaan Molijn. Dash Berlin’s breakthrough came that same year with “Till the Sky Falls Down”, which shot to the top of the Trance charts worldwide. Dash Berlin won the IDMA award for “Best High Energy Track” for “Waiting”. In 2010, Dash Berlin won the award for Highest New Entry by entering the DJ Mag Top 100 at number 15, beating out other famous Dutch DJ’s such as Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, and Ferry Corsten as the highest Dutch entry. Since then, Dash Berlin has consistently held a spot as one of the Top 15 DJ’s in the world, according to DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll.
