Hi, I'm Reid. I like to write and I like to listen, mostly to music but sometimes people too. I firmly believe I was prominent Jazz musician in a past life, and I also love electronic music and hip/hop.

I am a senior mass media communication student at Illinois State University and I also work at ISU's radio station 103.3 WZND. Music is my passion and I express myself with guitar, drums, bass, as well as music production in Ableton Live. I have traveled all over the country to review music festivals in search of the perfect festival experience.

Chicago born and raised. Love to travel and experience new people, places, and cultures. My love for EDM began about ten years ago, and has remained a part of me since. I strongly believe in the power music has to help and connect people!
