Happy 44th birthday to MTV!

I am so lucky to have been in artist development at the network right as Logo TV was launching. It meant that I got to host TV shows (plural) on cable! My music videos played around the clock on Viacom properties — Logo, obviously — but also on VH1, MTV proper, and Spike TV (RIP The Man Channel lol).

It was a completely bonkers time in my life and I will always be grateful to MTV executives like Perry Turcotte back then who championed me into a reality where my vision and my songs found their way into over 26 million homes each week. This lasted for years and it was hard to comprehend the scale or impact at the time but I get it now. It has been 20 years and I’m very clear that I am still here, largely because of that.

I’m an industry plant, baby!
