Early life

Bloom grew up in St John's Wood, London.[2] She took piano lessons as a child and trained to be a concert pianist.[3] She moved to the U.S. after her father moved to Atlanta, Georgia for business reasons. She started training as a disk jockey and worked at college radio in Georgia State University.[2]

Career

[edit | edit source]

After receiving a degree in Speech Communications, Bloom began her professional career in 1991 at WSTR FM as the station's assistant music director,[4] and she also served as an on-air personality.[5] In 1994, EMI Records head Daniel Glass appointed her to the position of Director of New Artist Marketing.[2] After working at EMI, Bloom served as the Director of Media Relations at Zero Hour Records. She started her own subsidiary record label, called 3-2-1, in 1996.[6][7]

Bloom started her agency The Bloom Effect in 2007. That year, she was named Top Consultant/Strategist of the Year by the National Association of Recording Industry Professionals (NARIP).[8][9] Her agency represents acts including Jesse Clegg and Wayna, who was subsequently nominated for a Grammy Award.[10]

In 2013, Bloom set up StoryTime, a twice-weekly children's book reading session which now runs at Butterfly 7, a children's store in Brooklyn. She says the sessions are "very interactive" and have a musical element.[3]
