About Me

I am a publicist and entertainment journalist, dedicated to giving a voice to the true talents of the industry and helping keep legacies alive. I create press kits, bios and anything exceptional needed to help take an artist to their audience. I have been working in the entertainment industry since college and have served as a gospel group manager, a record company event planner, a college newspaper editor, a publishing company editor and a stage director among other things. As a writer, I stay away from the sensationalism of entertainment and try to focus on the truth and history of those who have or are making a difference with their individualistic artistry.***ARTISTIC RESUME***2005 - present, PUBLICIST, Ernest J.
