Update On ElektroPR

Dear Friends, Followers and supporters,

I’d like to announce that I will be taking a step back with ElektroPR for the time being. After much thought I have decided to focus on another one of my projects called “I Think You’re Rad” for the time being. ElektroPR is not ending, but it will be returning as Betty Elektro Productions and Creative Consulting in the near future. It has been an amazing 2+ years of producing live music shows, running charity events with bands and also running our annual Charity Music & Arts Festival. With that being said my 2015 Charity Music & Art Festival will be postponed until the new transition takes place and with an official name that will be announced next year.

It has been wonderful to have been able to work with many local bands, working with different local music venues and getting to know many of you there. Betty Elektro Productions and Creative Consulting will be coming in 2016 with a similar mission.

I invite all of you to check out my  I Think You’re Rad Project that is focusing on the good in Los Angeles and honoring individuals and small organizations that are making a difference in the community. This project will focus on spreading positivity, will also include some community events, a video series and also its own festival. I would appreciate the support on this project when we launch our Kickstarter campaign in a few months to help us get into production and make this a reality.

The Birth of ElektroPR and How Music Saved My Life

I get asked a lot about how I got inspired to randomly jump into curating live music shows and I’d thought I would share what led to start my journey. I believe everything happens for a reason and you meet certain people for a reason. Back in the summer of 2010 I had stumbled upon a band called Radio Freq online and noticed they were having a show at the Silverlake lounge in June 2010. So I headed out there and fell in love with the live show. There I met Cliff Magreta since he was part of the band. I immediately had to buy their rad vinyl record they had for sale. Soon after I stayed connected with Cliff online. In November of the same year I happened to be able to go to a private party at Blake Miller home and ran into Cliff again. I decided to reach out to Cliff again and saw that he had started a project called Minutes til Midnight. I fell in love with the music and offered to help promote it online and promote future shows. I was a bit rusty since I had no idea what I was doing, but later got the hang of it and with some of Cliffs guidance and ideas I felt comfortable and fell in love with helping a local band. Cliff helped inspire my now nickname “Betty Elektro” and from there there was ideas of promoting the band with some sort of promotion name behind it. As I did things on my own something hit me in the summer of 2012 and I told myself I had to work on shows and what I didn’t know what to do, I would learn and keep going. So I did and I gave birth to Elektro-PR. It was all meant to be, it was my fate. I will never forget where everything started and that was all thanks to a cool local band and a guy that gave me a chance to learn something about myself and bring something out of me that was there all along and it changed my life. Honestly it saved my life after leaving a very unhealthy relationship with a verbally abusive man, I felt like I had nothing left. Music came into my life in an amazing way and it revived me and it reminded me that I had more to give and all the emotional scars I had, could be healed. It led me to amazing friends through starting this up and reconnecting with amazing people. Music does save lives and it saved mine.
