Christina Troitino

Christina Troitino is MEB's Head of Strategy and resident hockey mom. Just like any good suburbanite would, she plunged into alternative music around age 12, scouring the internet for new bands and eventually becoming a head moderator at Ultimate-Guitar, the leading early-2000's music message board. Christina has an encyclopedic knowledge of 70's and 80's punk and hardcore music. Her tastes also include equally-great but less-angsty picks, ranging from Nick Drake to Björk. All in all, she loves music and the power that the internet provides to its aficionados which is why she's so proud to be with the MEB family. When Christina is not building internet or listening to music, she's cooking. She started making cocktails for bands she interviewed, and decided to make a whole sister site of it. The name even fuses her love of food and music and honors Patti Smith: Pâté Smith. Check it out sometime: http://www.patesmith.co/
