 Here is a picture of me with the Hollywood Star Tara Reid at the Vodafone Music Awards in Sepember 2007.
Tara has been in many movies including American Pie. NOW HERE IS SOME MORE BORING STUFF ABOUT ME I am a student currently on my last year studying for a National Diploma in Media Production at Central Sussex College's Crawley campus. I am pround to say that I was hand-selected by Edexcel to celebrate the launch of VQ Day at the House of Commons together with three more successful students from across the Country. I am a very ambicious person and at only 18 years old, I already completed a period of work experiece at Bliss Magazine, written for several publications, have won the Runner-up Learner of the Year Award as part of the FE Sussex Spring Awards which was sponsered by Edexel and been offered a place at Goldsmiths University of London to study BA Hons in Media and Communications. Through my BTEC course, I was able to apply for a NUJ (National Union of Journalist) membership. It has allowed me attend and report on various events including the Chelsea Player of the Year Awards, the Indy Music Awards, The Travel Destination Show, a press pass at the 2007 Glastonbury Festival and The Great Escape Festival 2008 in Brighton. At the moment I write and do interviews for Europunk, Creature Mag, my college magazine “Scoop”, The Telegraph and MTV Blogs, and am part of the editorial team for the Sussex Student Network website. I am also scheduled to start work experience for NME Magazine in August 2008 and Kerrang Magazine later on in October 2008. I have also created another website with more work that I have been doing, please check out:
Here are some links to sites that I contribuite to:
 Me with Dave Grohl from The Foofighters
To enhance my career as a young Music Journalist, I try to get involved as much as can with the media so I arrange my own interviews with bands and write articles on Record Labels as well as Reviews on Albums, Bands, Venues, Mainstream Music, Gigs, books and Movies and I do all this work on a voluntary basis free of charge.

At the moment I do work experience for the Sussex and Brighton Universities where I contribute to the Student Network website which is aimed at Vocational Students already studying in Sussex and people considering taking a vocational course. I am part of the Editorial Team and was 1 of 8 Media Students chosen from Colleges in Sussex to take part on this project. You can find out more and read all the interesting articles by visiting the website:
I have written an article about the Glastonbury Festival and my experiences there, which has been published in the Sussex Student Network and I have also created a “montage” with the pictures that I took from the live Acts which can be viewed on my Youtube page under my username AidenQueen at http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=AidenQueen&p=r
In addition to that, I take photos for Europunk and my Myspace photography page and you can see them on the following websites: www.myspace.com/alexgigphotography and www.europunk.net/members.php?id=3106
(my member profile at Europunk is Devoted To Music).
Apart from contributing to online magazines I also broadcast all my audio interviews on youtube by creating video clips and adding the photos that I take of the bands from live shows, so whilst listening to interview you can also watch a slideshow of photos taken by me. Please check out my yourtube page on http://uk.youtube.com/user/AidenQueen or just click on the INTERVIEWS on the side of this page.
I enjoy travelling and learning about other people’s culture. I can speak some Spanish and hope to translate all my interviews into Spanish and create another website in Spanish so I can broadcast myself and get understood by people from other countries.
I am proud to say that I am very familiar with many venues where I have been given backstage and press access. Some of these venues are the Carlling Brixton Accademy, London Barfly, London Astoria, Earls Court, Leeds Harewood House, Brighton Concorde, Brighton Dome, Brighton Centre, London Bull and Gate Pub, London Meanfidller, the 02, Harlequin Theatre in Redhill and many more.
