I create unique playlists for all Mad Mexes (regional chain of American-Mexican restaurants) and several high-end restaurants. It has been an exciting challenge to create playlists custom-tailored to each restaurant’s unique clientele and daily schedule. My musical knowledge covers many genres including rock, pop, hip-hop, country, folk, jazz, Latin, Caribbean, reggae, Mediterranean, blues and more.
