Relocation of Kbon Reviews, GRM Days and Career Avenues...



Everyone, I'm back again after a long absence, a lot has happened in the past months before Christmas! I decided to share with you what I have been up to and my career I plan to head onto. Firstly, I would like to announce that Kbon Reviews, the urban blog for film, music and video game reviews is currently now inactive and will be reallocated to a different site and will be supported by Live Mag who I am now working with as a contributing writer/video editor on their site. There, on the site will be opinion pieces that will have subjects which effect people in society in the UK and abroad too but there mostly will be reviews for entertainment. I will post the new site sometime this Friday evening and the first review will be on rising femcee, Paigey Cakey who released her mixtape 'The Next Paige!'

Enough of that, what I decided to speak about is my journey and how I am progressing, as you know I released Nemesis the Hunter's Mark#1 online back in October! Many of you may know this, those who haven't shame on you (joking!) but I used to write for GRM Daily (formerly Grime Daily) I have been writing for them voluntarily for almost a year now. Since then, I have joined LIVE and now Link Up TV!



Let me start by saying I don't plan to throw anyone under the bus, my time with GRM Daily had some highs and lows. I met performing artists such as Mikel Ameen, Lady Lykez and wrote an interview for the duo SAS just to name a few. Those were great times and I managed to interact with an aspiring young blogger/writer/PR assistant from Pardon My Blog. As you know, things went downhill after that, I won't go into the details but I was very much underrated and the chores as a writer didn't help things so I decided to quit and make my way out!

I ended up with LIVE pretty much accidentally, it was initially temporary but there was a huge network of people I managed to converse with such as staff from ITV, BBC, MTV and so many more. Now the rest is history, as I balance my time at uni whilst committing to exciting content from both of the youth orientated media/entertainment/publishing platforms Link Up TV and LIVE. This is also part of the reason why I have posted a single post on this site since October!

So what does the future hold for me? Well, I am continuing to produce work for Nemesis the Hunter and I have some other comic projects at the back burner in development as well as the prequel graphic novel. 'Hardest to Survive' has been post-poned in place of a new 5 minute short called 'The Hood' that is likely to be released this Spring and I have returned to music. At the moment, I am 10 tracks in with twice more being prepared until I am satisfied with the content!

Make sure you stay tuned Friday ciao!
