Aww shucks! Big thanks to the fine folks at LAist for doing a wonderful feature on JAXART Records!! Head over to LAist to read an in depth interview with JAXART founder Ashley Jex.
Huge thanks to Molly Bergen for conducting the interview and the amazing quote!!!
“If Wonder Woman had hung up her cape and chosen to give up her life of fighting crime and instead wanted to get into the local music scene, she may have asked some pointers from Ashley Jex. At the tender age of twenty five, Jex has created a local music empire. Not only has she launched a very influential record label, JAXART out of her living room, she still makes time for her music blog,Rock Insider, and her band The Monolators, and somehow her day job.” [READ MORE]
