How did his path unfold? Well, the story begins as a young child, when Chris was reading classic novels and writing poetry about pirates. He always loved to write, and express his creativity. Fast forward to high school, Chris realized it was an actual possibility to do this for a living.

Three months before his 18th birthday back in 2018, his first writing gig unfolded with a United Kingdom-based publication, called Gone Travelling. The first article Chris ever published was about none other than the city he grew up near—Springfield, Massachusetts. He also took a stab at the gaming world and writing for The Geekly Grind, reviewing video games and covering major events like PAX East. After some time writing for these publications and several others, he realized he wanted to break into two further niches he loved—basketball and Hip-Hop. Chris worked under Travis Singleton at SneakerReporter covering basketball (and specifically his beloved Oklahoma City Thunder), and had the chance to interview NBA players such as Kevin Hervey. This is also where he got his first taste of social media, managing the SneakerReporter account on X.

Still seeking out a position working within Hip-Hop, he began to tirelessly pitch content to publications within the genre, one of them ultimately landing in the hands of Cyrus Langhorne of the former SOHH. Cyrus liked what he read, and then Chris worked as a volunteer for SOHH for months before getting a paid gig. The position included social media, YouTube, and website content, and Chris fell in love with the role. With backstage access at concerts, artist interviews, freebies from all sorts of brands, and even special invites to shows like Nick Cannon’s Wild 'n Out, who wouldn’t? Across nearly four years at SOHH, Chris’ YouTube videos were viewed over 300,000,000 times alongside 595,000 subscribers (which led to a Silver YouTube Play Button and account verification; SOHH’s X account was also verified), and his articles were read by roughly 2,500,000 unique site visitors monthly.

After nearly four years at SOHH, which was enjoyed living within view of Manhattan and the George Washington Bridge, he moved on to an Atlanta-based Hip-Hop media outlet called AllDayDrip. Throughout roughly two years at AllDayDrip, his articles were read by more than 15,000 monthly and his videos were watched over 340,000 times. At the same time, he held a remote position with Clearbridge Branding Agency out of Glassboro, New Jersey, managing social media accounts and advertising for over ten clients.

Other work Chris has done includes content for the ASAP Foundation out of New York City and their mission regarding substance abuse and harm reduction, as well as video production for artist J.O. Jerusalem and Hip-Hop Mike, a former Hot 97 DJ. From 2023 to 2025, Chris worked in marketing as an employee-owner of A.W. Brown’s Pet & Garden in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts. His content landed in front of more than 930,000 people during his time at Brown’s. Somewhere in the middle of all this (he’ll admit the digital world moves too fast to remember all the dates), he also created content for HipHopVideoWorld and expanded into the automotive media world for HotCars.

Furthermore, Chris’ work has been published or featured in The Guardian, Complex, Forbes, and NBC News. He has also met and collaborated with dozens of celebrities, musicians, and professional athletes, including Kanye West, Jimmy Fallon, Spike Lee, Kodak Black, A$AP Ferg, 2 Chainz, Lil Uzi Vert, Ben Simmons, Kehlani, Michael Rubin, late designer Virgil Abloh, late rapper Juice WRLD, and more. He went even further with certain connections through talent management, directly assisting both Glen “Big Baby” Davis (coordinating the The Life After Basketball Tour comedy tour) and Smooky MarGielaa. Chris has also interviewed and connected with endless unique figures, including actors from The Sopranos, former members of organizations such as the Heaven’s Gate cult all the way to the Genovese crime family, and even those from of bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd—his favorite!
