As A Prominent Figure in Manila's Music Scene
Even before Kunawicz' columns, however, she was already well known as a prominent member of the Manila music scene. In 1991 she co-founded the Dredd Poets Society with Patrick Reidenbach and Robbie Sunico. Together they produced monthly poetry readings and rock concerts at Club DREDD, the Quezon City club that became the epicenter of Manila rock scene.
Kunawicz also served as the manager of local rock band for Love Bigots Love from 1994 until 1996, which was the same year Clubb Dredd closed down.

“Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.”

“Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then if he lose he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.”
