Mama Trash Promotions, Inc. ~ Mama Trash Bio

As far back as I can remember music has always been a huge part of my life. When I was a teenager my younger brother was a drummer in a band called Freakshow. They were a huge success in the Tri-State area for over eight years and through them I was exposed to a lot of different bands and styles of music. I also started meeting famous musicians through him. Those friends lead to new friends, so you get the idea! Back in 2003 I decided to bring the bands I enjoyed closer to the fans by starting a website called experiencemetal.com and I have never looked back.

Now how did I get the name Mama Trash? The UK fans of Acey Slade's band, Trashlight Vision nicknamed me Mama Trash due to my maternal nature over the band and the name or persona took on a life of its own! In January 2006 I took it to the next level by creating and running my own promotions company in the state of Delaware, JGS Promotions, Incorporated, offering services to musicians all over the world! In 2008, I changed the name legally to Mama Trash Promotions, Incorporated.
