Introducing Me :)

Well to start of, I'm Kirbie Jane Mennie, mainly known as Kirbie. I am 16 years old and just finished my GCSE's and now in Sixth Form in my school in Hertfordshire called Goffs School taking English Lit, Media, Photography and Business single. I'm pretty laid back I play guitar and a bit of keyboard, now taking up the drums during my 2nd year at The Music Lab, I play all different kind of music on my guitar but I mainly play rock music at concerts I perform at, me and my band do covers of 30 Seconds to Mars, Paramore, Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold and many more, I take the role of lead guitar and backing vocals. I also do the photography for my friends Brass band called Furious Music. After Sixth Form I want to go off to University in Newport in Wales to study Media or Photography or the London Royal College of Fashion to study photography as I want a career in a music magazine such as Kerrang! but if I do not get into a magazine business then I would like to be a free lance Music Photographer like my idol Paul Harries. I did two weeks work expierence at the You Mag for the Daily Mail and I had a very good time going round all the different desks and I became really fond of photos, art and editors. I go to alot of concerts and festivals, my first festival was the Download festival in Donnington Park I have also been to a few other festivals such as Underage and T In The Park. I write stories in my spare time when I have no work to do, I currently finished one called The Avenger and thinking about creating a second part to the story, I read a lot to I love fan-fiction stories people write on the internet but also I love fantasy, horror, romance and crime stories, wether its a story off a website someone wrote or its an actual book from a bookstore. 


I am very passionate about Media because it is something I think is completely different from any other career, and it also can be looked at in all different types such as advertising, film and development, journalism and reviews. I first became fond of Media when I was choosing my subjects for year 10 to take on my GCSE's we firstly did contrasting music videos and then we created our own advert for a perfume, which I found very interesting because I could use my creative side, I'm a very creative person and always writing stories so I found it very easy to come up with my ideas. But I want to mix my media with my music such as review concerts or take the photos, it would be a very interesting career because I'll be mixing my two passions together.
