Greg Schick’s Summary

I entered the Internet industry in 1996 and spent five years as a web designer, producer and internet researcher. Left the corporate world to start freelance writing for technology magazines. Started my own web site in 2003 selling old hip hop records and happened into a variety of international hip hop scenes. I immersed myself in international hip hop, both writing and setting up a one-of-a-kind online record store specializing in non-American hip hop releases. I continue writing, researching, interviewing, connecting with artists. In 2008, I am doing the PR work for the Trinity International Hip Hop Festival in Hartford, CT. This year should see a huge expansion in my writing and promotion of my web site. I am also a emerging teacher working part time as an elementary school substitute.
