He initially wrote for a small apartment newsletter and transitioned on to a local Baton Rouge newspaper called The Tiger Weekly. Returning to New Orleans after graduation, he became an intern/contributing writer for the Offbeat Music Magazine which focuses on Louisiana’s musical culture. His favorite part of the experience was speaking with some of today’s prominent Hip Hop artists. He enjoys various forms of music, and hip hop has always been a steady force in his life, remaining his favorite form of music.
