Off The Record…
Hello there. I’m Mikala. You may already know me by my myriad of articles within the music and travel sectors, writing fancy hotel and restaurant reviews, feature interviews with artists backstage, and first person POV insights on destination music festivals and exclusive travel offerings. I am a full-time journalist and copywriter, getting my hands and words in every facet of writing that I can possibly find.
I’ve spent the past decade crafting my brand as one of the music industry’s – particularly within electronic music – most respected writers, jet-setting around the world in pursuit of getting my boots on the next best dance floor and reporting on it from an attendee’s POV. I’ve also taken quite a few planes around the world and back again to dish out my opinion on newly opened hotels, restaurants, and exposing the hidden gems in cities around the world.
This, though, is where you’ll find me “off the record.”
You see, as a journalist, nothing is really considered “off the record.” Getting your work published on a formal publication is great and all, but there’s formality, brand guidelines, and “political-correct-ness” to avoid ruffling some feathers. We’re not here for that. In fact, I kinda hate rules.
Instead, here is where you’ll find my hot takes, cold facts, and a little bit of meat.
The latter meaning I’m going to eventually convince you to get on an animal-based diet because the idea of being a vegan is completely idiotic and anyone who tries to convince you it’s good for your health and planet is probably fucking miserable. I write about everything from why I feel amazing eating steak and eggs every morning to the government’s latest scam. Plus, I’ll likely throw in the occasional funny life story.
