About ROXANNE BLANFORD
If the indie music scene of the 1990's had its own champion, Roxanne Blanford would be at the top of the list. She is a Brooklyn, New York native, born the youngest of seven siblings. As a child, she played make-believe rock guitarist
with a broom stick and upon her tenth birthday she received a typewriter and her love for writing developed. After attending
elementary school on a full art sholarship and high school on a full academic scholarship, she went on to New York University, The New School for Social Research, and City University of New York, City College, emphasizing communications, history, psychology, philosophy, drama and literature studies.
She has worked in various marketing/media and sales capacities (advertising assistance
for a women's magazine conglomerate; online advertising proposal writing, and an e-business market sales account manager).
Quite the self-starter, she embarked on a freelance career in the mid-90's as an entertainment journalist, reviewing
movies, covering such time-honored events as the College Music Marathon and initiating her own music publicity and promotion venture Impact Music Publicity where upon she successfully marketed and promoted independent musicians from Columbus, OH TwinCam, Season's End-- far from her native Brooklyn.
Time permitting, she has written on and about music, has interviewed well known musicians Godsmack, Train, Sondre Lerche, Mandy Moore, Finger Eleven, Nile Rodgers, OK Go!, Ben Jelen, My Morning
Jacket and the lesser known, local NYC perfomer Chris Ryan, The WalkOns, The PlasticEaters, Beauty School Dropouts, Allison Scola, ThisWay, Orange Beauties, and others.
Her selfless efforts resulted in media coverage, disc sales, and expansion of fan bases.
In her own right, Roxanne struggles to make her name known in New York's traditional marketing and communications
arenas.
2006 found Ms. Roxanne pounding the pavement, seeking full time employment.
Where's the justice in that, huh?
