My journalistic portfolio: Neon Lights & Sleaze Nation (2011 & 2012)






Hello everyone! :o)

After being told like all my life that I should use my journalistic talent, I started to work as a music journalist in April 2010. First for one magazine - but further ones were added quite soon...

I always write in English language, quite often also bilingually in English and in German language, and nowadays my works are even translated into Russian every now and then.

Ever since I started to work as a music journalist, I listed all my works in blogspot posts called "My journalistic portfolio" and published at least two parts of them each year. Now, after being active for over three years, I decided to keep everything a little more recent, so this is now a collection of all my works for the Russian glamzine "Neon Lights" (www.neon-lights.info / http://neon-lights.ru) & the Belgian Sleaze magazine "Sleaze Nation" (http://sleazenation.be/home) in the years 2011 and 2012.

"Neon Lights" is bilingual (English / Russian) but since I have no clue about the Russian language, "Neon Lights" is the first webzine I started to write for monolingually: In English language only. Nevertheless, all interviews done by me for "Neon Lights" are also translated into the Russian language. The collaboration between "Neon Lights" and me started in February 2011. First, I just contributed two LIVE reviews to "Neon Lights", but from summer 2012, our collaboration became more intensive.

"Sleaze Nation" is monolingually English despite its headquarters in Belgium. Our collaboration started with the year 2012.

All my works are listed in chronological order, independent from the magazines it was published by...

Have fun while reading!
