Journalism

Aside from being a co-columnist in a major newsweekly, and a freelance writer for several newspapers, magazines and websites, I am perhaps best known for founding and running Birthplace Magazine (www.BirthplaceMag.com).

Subtitled “New York Hip-Hop: Past, Present and Future,” this thriving online publication is an entertainment and lifestyle destination focusing on hip hop music and culture, highlighting news, artists, events and organizations, concentrating solely on the New York metropolitan area.

The goal is to not only provide a respectable, professional media platform to deliver such stories, but to pioneer a reinvention of music journalism, one with a regional and genre-specific focus, through utilization of cutting-edge internet and social media technologies, as well as good old-fashioned quality journalism.

Birthplace Magazine won a New York Music Award for Best Music Website.
