2018 Lollapalooza Recap with Chicago Innerview Magazine

If you couldn’t already tell from my unplanned hiatus, summer is a very busy time for me as I’ve been a contributing writer for Chicago Innerview’s magazine and website for the past two festival seasons. This includes writing for Pitchfork, Lollapalooza, and Riot Fest both online as well as for the physical copies available in coffee shops and venues around Chicago. Some way, somehow I was offered the full Lollapalooza festival recap on their home page, in addition to having 6 articles this time around in the magazine on artists like Hippie Sabotage, The Weeknd, Lizzo, and Playboi Carti.

Music Overload: June 11, 2018

While it’s pretty apparent that I’ve taken some time off here and there, I haven’t stopped going to live shows and exploring new music. I’m honestly still exhausted with acclimating to my new job and work-life schedule, and just straight-up tired. I obviously still want to share a lot of music that’s impacted me over the past few months, so I’ll probably be catching up on a lot of older material in addition to new releases. Enjoy and thanks for sticking with me! <3

Nicki Minaj Performs “Chun Li” on SNL, plus Live Debut of “Poke It Out” featuring Playboi Carti

On last night’s season finale, Saturday Night Live was hosted by the hilarious Tina Fey, boasted several celebrity cameos, and of course – Nicki Minaj was performing live on the 43rd season’s closing episode. I expected nothing but the best from these two performances, and I was far from disappointed.

Now Watching: Christina Aguilera “Accelerate”

As a young tot in the days of the Mickey Mouse Club, AND a teen during the iconic “Stripped” era – I’ve always been a pretty solid fan of Christina Aguilera. In a much needed, yet unexpected return to the airwaves, Aguilera is back with a new dance track which features support from 2 Chainz and Ty Dolla $ign and is the first single from her forthcoming ninth record: Liberation.
