Erika June Christina Laing
Co-Host of Petticoat Rule
Hi ~ I'm Erika! Tara and I created Petticoat Rule with a vision to learn about how successful creatives accomplish their goals while also increasing coverage of female musicians and other talented women involved in the male-dominated music industry. By day I'm a neuroscientist and by night I'm a song-writing multi-instrumentalist, a creative non-fiction writer, and the front woman for the Pittsburgh-based art rock band, Working Breed.
