I have over three decades of experience as a music journalist, contributing to top publications like Billboard, NPR, The Hollywood Reporter Variety, SPIN and the Los Angeles Times. I've authored biographies and press releases for major artists, and contributed to music reference books. Additionally, I host the music-centered Pictures of Lily Podcast. From my teenage years through to today, I have spent a great deal of time on the Sunset Strip, experiencing the area's inimitable energy firsthand.
