About

I tell stories about popular music and performance, with a special focus on electronic music, reggaeton, and other styles of the Latin American diaspora. My writing explores identity formation, femme aesthetics, and immigrant belonging. I’ve produced podcasts, written features and essays, appeared on podcasts and panels, and curated events for brands. In 2017, I was named on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in Media list. My writing has appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR, GQ, Pitchfork, and more.
