Hi. I’m a writer in Los Angeles.

From 2014 to 2018, I was at the arts and culture magazine FLOOD, where I started as an intern and ended up as editor-in-chief. (We made real magazines, on actual paper. You can check out a digital version of one I led the development of here.)

Since then, I’ve worked as a freelancer, writing for publications like The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Ringer, GQ, Stereogum, VICE, Billboard, and elsewhere.

My recent profile of Dril on The Ringer hit the freelancers’ hat trick of being recommended by Longreads, Pocket, and The Sunday Long Read. At The L.A. Times, I’ve had a Column One story—their marquee front-page column—and a Calendar section front-page story. John Darnielle said my Stereogum story about Pavement’s algorithmic hit, “Harness Your Hopes,” was “one of the best music pieces” he read in 2020, and that has to count for something.

I was featured in the CNN documentary Taking On Taylor Swift, which was about the “Shake It Off” copyright battle, and have gone on NPR to talk about Kate Bush.

I’m available for album biography writing and all sorts of copywriting—and if you have a podcast I’ll probably go on that, too. Why the hell not.
