 I'm a twenty-something with a wealth of life experience to draw from who dropped out of college to pursue writing and DJing full time. I've interviewed everyone from The Smashing Pumpkins and Duncan Sheik to Evan Dando (Lemonheads). Though music writing has always been my passion, I've discovered an aptitude for food writing.
