I'm a professional DJ, freelance writer, recipe developer and independent publisher of zines about music and food. You'll find my byline in a wide range of news, tech and entertainment publications. My first book Country Fried Soul: Adventures in Dirty South Hip-Hop was published in 2005, and a more personal West Coast anthology called California Love is planned for 2023.
