PARAMORE.NET BIO:
I am pretty simple. Music, make up, and fashion are what I’m really into. Sort of a typical girls list of hobbies…but I ain’t no girls girl. I’m into making memories with photographs and I tend to be pretty nostalgic. Anything to do with the south, I’m down for it: good times and BBQ!!! My goal is to make music that people, 30 or 40 years from now, wish they were around for.
