I’m currently taking on new writing projects.

I specialize in narrative writing around hip-hop, music and culture, with experience writing articles, essays and YouTube-style storytelling.

I’m currently interested in working with YouTube creators, publications and brands on:

• YouTube scripts & video essays • Music/culture articles • Narrative storytelling • Ghostwriting • Newsletters

If you’re building something in music, culture or entertainment and need a writer who can find the larger story behind the subject, I’d love to connect.

If you’re a creator, publication, or brand looking for a writer who can bring a narrative perspective to music and culture, I’d love to connect.

Hip hop and culture writing is such a specific lane, and a smart one since so much of that content still gets written generically. What pulled you toward narrative storytelling over straight reviews or news coverage in that space?

I’ve always been more interested in the story behind the music than just whether something is good or bad. Hip-hop is full of stories about identity, ambition, struggle and culture. Narrative storytelling gives me room to explore those ideas and make the reader feel something...

About 1 week into this project, we decided to delete everything and start afresh. Why? We saw that we could do something better. We could tell a better story rather than just move things around on screen. We could make you laugh. Or cry. We could make you picture using the software without ever touching it. We discovered we were more powerful, so we deleted everything to start from the very beginning... the script. I anticipate what the final piece will look like! P.S. This version is the one we're deleting 🥹 😭

The stronger story clearly justified the restart.

Great content should be easy to read, informative, and engaging.

Clear ideas. Strong structure. Better content.
