music WORDS
interviews:
ever since I started at Hypebeast as an editorial intern in summer 2023, I have consistently grown the voice, reach, and taste profile of hypebeast's music vertical.
hypetrak has since run as a standalone print magazine for the first time since 2015, along with hypetrak-exclusive digital covers and other highly produced multimedia editorial spreads .
i've brought a lineup of music talent — ranging from grammy-winning a-listers to rising underground talent — into the cut at hypebeast, rapidly yet intentionally expanding our modes of meaningful storytelling by way of long-form editorial interviews across print and digital, as well as shoots, shortform video, and social content.
