Music Row exec and two media personalities: stay tuned for these interviews from the archives

A confession: some of my interviews with Hispanic Nashvillians have never seen the light of day. Yes, I asked questions, and the interviewees answered, but some of those exchanges wither away in storage collecting dust.

One of the interviews is with a morning co-host at a local Christian radio broadcaster, who got her job in 2010 and who gave me an interview in 2011. I posted an excerpt at the time, but there was much more to it that what you saw.

Another interview collecting dust is with a Music Row executive.  Another is with a local TV news personality.  You haven't seen either of those.

Just so you know, I'm dusting off these interviews.  Coming soon...

Arredondo, a Cuban-American raised in Miami, Florida is a multi-talented artist who has already gained attention for her career as a country singer; her EP, “Just Call Me Jackie,” which was produced in Nashville by Brian G White.
