We recently introduced a new online team, with whom we thank for the content they provide. We do not accept applications for writers. Generally we pick people who we feel can bring something extra to High Voltage and who we feel are as passionate about music as we are. Don't let that deter you from offering your services though. Just drop us a line.

Alison Krick
Photographer

Alison was born and raised in the great state of Wisconsin and managed to never own a cheese head hat. She grew up in Milwaukee and currently lives in Keonsha (or Ka-no-where as it is called). She currently teaches 7th-12th grade PE and health and coaches a variety of sports; it's far from the the rock star life, but it pays the bills. After being in and out of bands and having a camera in hand wherever she goes, a job in concert/live photography only made sense. She also loves going to shows of any sort, and showing off her parallel parking skills. Guilty pleasures include: pugs, making the band on MTV and making a plan to meet Janet Jackson one day.

Jade Amey
Writer / Photographer

Jade would like to think that she has a healthy obsession with music (though her friends say the opposite). However, this 'obsession' was not a choice. Jade grew up in a small town in the Great Lake State, surrounded by a family who adored music just as much as she does. When she was 16, she attended her first real concert in Detroit (Seeing Backstreet Boys when she was 11 doesn't count). From this concert, she made the ultimate decision to get away from her small town life and work with music in the big city. This big city ended up being Chicago, where she currently studies music business and photography at Columbia College. When she's not busting her ass off at school, Jade works as a library aide and interns at a local music management company. In her free time, you can find Jade wandering around her neighborhood of Wicker Park, photographing people and concerts, shopping for vintage clothes, and, when the weather is decent, spending entire days drinking cheap beer in the park.

Liz Jimenez
Writer

Lizbeth is originally from Mexico, but was raised in Las Vegas, NV. She is currently attending the University of Nevada-Las Vegas majoring in Business Management and has a minor in Criminal Justice. She has always had a passion for music, she knows how to play the violin and is currently learning piano. She enjoys going to concerts throughout the Las Vegas valley and meeting new people. Growing up in Las Vegas has given Liz the opportunity to see local bands making it to stardom, and yes she does like The Killers. On the weekends you can find Liz at any of the local venues/bars trying to get bands to perform for Rock for the Cure (a charity event that she coordinated in 2006).
