Growing up in the suburbs of Detroit, Tejada, an avid music and movie fan, created the firm on the foundation of electronic music. First with Green House Record Pool in 1993, helping dance music record labels disburse and promote their 12′′ vinyl records to the top DJs on the West Coast and the following year, in 1994, she become partners in Public Space, a “live ambient” club that would grow into a long-running home for live electronic music concerts at various venues around Hollywood, CA. Since then, her promotional focus and client base has grown to include all things of interest to her including art, film, theater, dance, fashion, books, restaurants, and more.
