Christopher Duda - SugarBuzz Toronto

Christopher became obsessed with music at an early age. As a little gaffer, Christopher use to steal his parents records to listen to on his Mickey Mouse record player. At the tender age of ten, he became exposed to Punk Rock. That obsession grew slowly, then soon took control of his mind and body.

Vix - SugarBuzz Oklahoma City

Dont be fooled by location. Vix may be rooted in the armpit of theSouth but she is LA and rock all the way around. Hailing originallyfrom Dallas Texas, Vix grew up in Deep Ellum watching bands like Pantera and Drowning Pool go from garages to venues like The Basement, Dallas City Limits, Trees and On the Rocks, to huge arenas. Decline of the music scene and economy in Dallas inspired her to pack up and move to California where she called Sunset Strip her second home. Now she is back in the South and is a force to be reckoned with. She will tell you "I shoot straight from the hip. If you don't wanna know the truth, don't ask me". Her verbal arsenal may offend and upset some but be prepared for Truth, Justice and the Rock and Roll way.

Marianne - SugarBuzz Finland

Marianne was born in Helsinki, Finland in 1967 and lived her childhood with her designer mom. At quite a young age she left home, and for a few crazy years she lived with her friends and was a real rebel. She saw all the life of the streets with a "sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll lifestyle." She was lucky enough to find the love of her life and settled down. She has seen enough life to realize the value of a true friendship. Marianne is very generous and loyal to her friends, and she also has great sense of humor. She has four kids, and they are the most important things in her life. Marianne is also in charge of the family business, so that her days are busy taking care of both the business and the family. The things that are close to her heart are many kind of art, music, exotic shorthair cats, photography, human rights and writing.

Cheryl - SugarBuzz Seattle

A Northwest native, Cheryl's interest in rock music sparked while listening to Kiss in the family car on the way to weekend ski trips at the tender age of 8. By age 11, her piano teachers required her to play Mozart and Beethoven, but after practice, she would tickle the ivories with some Led Zeppelin and The Who. Cheryl's first live rock show experience was seeing Spinal Tap at the age of 13, further forming her appreciation of, and fancy for; clever witticisms, male musicians with long hair and, ultimately, all things rock n roll.

With an eclectic taste in music, which varies from the symphony to Slayer, this Seattle girl finds that hard rock, punk and metal warms her soul. Perhaps it's 'cuz she's 1/2 Norwegian? (insert heavy-metal-horn hand gesture here, coupled with guttural "roaaarrr" and upper lip snarl).

Recently, Cheryl started writing music reviews and travel essays for the amusement of her friends and family, which developed into the occasional contribution to a local indie rag. When she's not globetrotting, you'll find Cheryl partaking in some typical Seattle-grunge-birthplace activities: stomping in mud- puddles, swilling coffee, eating sushi, enjoying the local music scene and some of rock n roll's related vices. She did, however, give up sporting flannel long ago. Drop her a line. She doesn't bite... hard.

Heidi Lee - SugarBuzz Michigan

Born in Rockford, Illinois with headphones permanently attached to her light blonde noggin, Heidi’s first glimpse of what would ultimately become her decade of choice as far as her musical allegiance goes was watching re-runs of The Monkees on MTV at the tender age of five. Although she strayed throughout her adolescence, listening to groups that were of questionable musical value, in her early twenties she opted for good-taste and now enjoys being a rabid fan of artists like The Kinks, The Small Faces, George Harrison and pretty much any mod/psychedelic/garage/British band to cross the seas in the 1960’s. She also enjoys music from the 70’s and some from the 80’s as well, as long as it isn’t country. Heidi feels home at the Way Back Machine, but also feels that there is good music being made out there now, it’s just all where you find it, not force fed to you through top forty radio. She currently resides in a self-imposed exile in Northern Michigan. If you suffer from insomnia occasionally as well as Heidi does, drop her a line, and don’t forget to dance.

Scotty - SugarBuzz Hollywood

Born in LA and raised in the Bay Area, Scotty has been involved in music in some form or fashion for most of his life. Ever since his first show, Motley Crue at the Roxy, in 1982....yes 1982, Scotty has been there. Since then, Scotty got most influenced by 80's glam/sleaze rock, dark industrial, and goth. Scotty has played music since 1988 in rock n' roll, industrial, and goth bands and started his own label, Possessive Blindfold, in 1995 and that since mutated to Heat Slick Records in 2002. He has also spent the past 12 years deejaying various clubs in San Francisco and LA. Having signed bands such as Motochrist and Junkyard and toured in his past bands (The Silencers, Savak, Holocaust Theory) in the USA, Asia, and Europe.....Scotty knows both ends of the business from being an artist and being an entrepeneur/label head/manager. Scotty know lives in Hollywood, runs his label and management company, goes to rock shows, and travels the world in his spare time. scotty@sugarbuzzmagazine.com

Lynda - SugarBuzz Atlanta

Lynda may look young, but she's been at this music "thing" for about 20 years now-starting in elementary school when she would go on and on about her favourite bands until her friends finally "got it", too. In middle school she would make these 20-page packets of photocopied goodies on her bands and hand them out to people. In high school, she dabbled in journalism as the main entertainment writer/editor of the school paper for 3 years with (vain) hopes of becoming "as cool as (ex-Metal Edge editor) Gerri Miller". Currently residing in Atlanta, GA, Lynda continues with her bizarre "second nature": promoting bands. She is an active supporter of the ATL rock scene and goes to tons of local shows and buys merchandise (when she can afford it). She also, occasionally, takes part in street-team like jobs. Most of her friends are in bands, "belong to" band members, or are friends with bands. On any given day, you can see her sporting a different band's shirt. And, so that it's clear, she's not an indie whore. She does like many commercial bands, as well. tobietyler77@aol.com

Laurie Anne Smith - SugarBuzz New Jersey

Laurie Anne Smith grew up at the Jersey Shore. A young child in the mid sixties, she loved to listen to her older brother's Beatles albums. Memorizing all the lyrics, she played the albums over and over again. Finally her brother caved in and gave them to her. As a youth Laurie joined the school choir, took piano and violin lessons, loved to draw and paint. Soon high school gave way to an obsession with Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin and Kiss. Music posters graced every inch of her bedroom and she had stacks of eight track tapes all over the room. Her parents constantly yelled “turn that noise down!”.  Laurie received a Bachelors Degree in Art Education at Georgian Court University. She taught high school art for many years before giving up her career to be a stay at home mother. Laurie's lifelong dream came true in 2001 meeting Steven Tyler. In fact, he autographed her back which she got tattooed that same evening! Now Laurie has joined the rank and file of SugarBuzz. Prepare to be enlightened.

Cameron Dye - SugarBuzz California

Cameron Dye first noticed for his role in, "Valley Girl," one of the best loved movies about rock and roll and Hollywood playing Nicolas Cage's loyal sideman "Fred." He's done several films since and pops up on television frequently. As a singer-songwriter he has performed in the UK and all over the USA, most notably at Austin's SXSW with ex-Eagle/Burrito Brother Bernie Leadon sitting in and also as front man for The Moon, a volatile power pop band that included Plimsouls Dave Pahoa and Eddie Munoz. His current band, The Matches, is a soulful Americana outfit that plays regularly in and around Hollywood, where he makes his home. Look for their debut release later this year. Otherwise, he's the proud father of Mason Alan and Calvin Summer, Daddy-O!

Susi - SugarBuzz Germany

Who is this girl? Her friends call her Rocket Queen. All the way from Gießen, Germany. That’s in the North, near Hamburg. . She has been a heavy metal/hard rock fanatic since she was 11 years old. Now she is much older and she still can’t get enough of that shiny stuff. Susi started to run some fan clubs some years ago for a couple of German bands and found out that it is really fun. Now she has some very cool contacts in the metal business all over Deutchland. Some months ago this girl thought about doing band-interviews for her private homepage… and guess what? Loads of people liked these interviews. SugarBuzz is lucky to have this fraulien on it’s side. susi@sugarbuzzmagazine.com
