About Sami-Jo Martinez

Hey there! You can call me Sami-Jo. I am a Music Business Bachelors '17 grad who's back in school or my second degree in Show Production! I have worked in various aspects of the music indutrsy working as a tour and stage manager, merch manager, production assistant, and now stage hand in working towards becoming a FOH engineer and lighting designer. My latest job was working as a special events coordinator for a major live events company as well as working as a stage managers assistant for a world renowned music venue! I have also thankfully had the oppurtunity to work on various music festivals and work 100+ shows such as Vans Warped Tour, Forbiden Kingdom, Sunfest, and Jazz In The Gardens. When I'm not working in the music industry, I play in my own band called, Hijas De La Muerte! We are a three-piece female Spanish/English Grunge Punk band. Founded in 2019 we have had the oppurtunity to open up for bands like L.A. Witch, Thelma and The Sleaze, and play at the Punk Black Music Festivals in ATL, Georgia and Miami, Florida! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to network, get advice, or like to work on a project!
