Simone "Boss Lady" Kapsalides is an urban (hip-hop/R&B) music journalist and marketing and events specialist. Published in magazines such as JUICE, BIG HIT, HQ, MINISTRY, MTV SCREEN, 3D WORLD and REVOLVER plus THE FACE (UK) from the age of 17, and having interviewed high-profile artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, OutKast, Usher and Aaliyah, Simone graduated from the University of Technology (UTS) Sydney, Australia with a journalism degree in 2002.
Straight after university, Simone became Editor of Sydney's first hip-hop/R&B street press (free) magazine REQUEST, from May 2002 – May 2003. This provided her with the right training ground and in late 2003, Simone became the Founder and Editor of URBAN HITZ magazine - Australia and New Zealand’s longest-running, highest-selling and much loved on-sale urban music and culture publication.
In addition to her publishing career, through her company Boss Lady Entertainment, Simone has promoted youth parties and hip-hop workshops (and has done so from the age of 16) in Sydney's Inner and Greater West, coordinated events for Sydney's premier hip-hop/R&B nightclubs, and has worked on parties for 112, Usher, Ja Rule, Kurupt and the Luniz. She has appeared on MTV Australia reporting urban music news, and has held positions on numerous entertainment boards (including being a member of the NSW government’s youth entertainment body, the Indent Advisory Committee, since its inception, plus the ARIA Awards Voting Panel). Above all, Simone is passionate about Australia's young people (especially from culturally diverse backgrounds) and the positive growth of hip-hop music and culture.
With a revised format of URBAN HITZ magazine (it is no longer a magazine but a poster book, serving its predominate young readership), Simone is currently fulfilling a life-long ambition - living in New York City to take up the newly created position of Editor of DrJays.com, DJPremium.com and the soon to be launched StreetStyle.com. DrJays.com is renowned as the world's leading urban fashion retailer, and huge things are in-store for 2007 for both the brand....and the Boss Lady!
