Hello I am a music journalist, based in Australia. I previously worked abroad in the UK and Europe on several prints and contributed to author Damien Morgan’s new book on Hip-Hop Had A Dream before relocating back to Australia and currently freelance write for Street press Australia – covering several national magazine presses under hip-hop & urban culture.
Interviews with world class artists (most recently, Raekwon & RZA from Wu-Tang Clan) reviews. columns and editorials. I also work freelance for several independent recording labels.
However, I am very interested in broadening my scope in writing and contributing to the hiphop community through various outlets. If i can lend a hand to the course set for your agency, then please contact me.
I sincerely appreciate you affording me the time and consideration for the contributor role. I hope to hear back from you soon. Below are links to several interviews/reviews i have submitted through Street press Australia. If you need anymore, please contact me on details here.
