LIVE MUSIC

As you can see, my name is Whitley Sutton. I live in West Virginia, born and raised. I am an 18 year old music lover! I have a few things that bring some entertainment to my life. I love writing, live music, music blasting through my speakers, television, movies, and books. The few things listed above are my passions. What do I want to do with my life? I want to do something in the writing field. I really want to work with a publishing company or a music magazine. Either of those would be my dream job.

I grew up in Lawrenceville, GA, about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta. I graduated from UGA in '07 with a marketing degree. Since school, I've helped run a successful design/build contracting company in the Metro-Atlanta area as a marketing coordinator and project manager. I am trying to rekindle some creative roots now. About me, I live in Atlanta, in an old house a block from Piedmont Park. My roommate and I are a couple of straight guys in the gay mecca that is midtown Atlanta. Not to say I have any problem with it, but it is certainly a new experience. I play a lot of soccer. I love music, particularly live music, and even more particularly destination music festivals when I can. I try to keep life funky. Being as poor as I am, I have developed quite a skill for finding the simple ways to have a good time. I've got great friends, a great girlfriend, and I'm thankful for every day I'm above ground.
