AboutChloe Grimshaw, Author at The Creative Issue
Chloe Grimshaw
I associate most memories I have with a certain song playing in the background and then struggle for days to locate the tune that seems so familiar (Suzanne Vega’s Tom’s Diner haunted me for weeks before I finally found it). Although I lack the music ability to produce masterpieces myself my inner journalist could write about music forever. Apart from writing my next hobby would be tending carefully to my ever-growing collection of playlists.What Your Playlist is Missing: Harris
