Bio
From his website:[1]
- "Hi, I’m Michael! I often exist under the nom de plume/guerre Kenny Bloggins as a writer, designer, photographer, musician, and otherwise (I hate this term) “creative professional” based in Louisville. I write about music, food, technology, culture, and Internet bullshit. My design and photography tends to stay in those lanes as well. I’ve had my work featured in outlets such as VICE, The Guardian, PASTE Magazine, The Daily Swarm, IMPOSE, and others. I’m a regular contributor to the nationally award-winning alt newsweekly LEO Weekly, deontologically meeting my print media quota, as well as Consequence of Sound and Intel’s tech trends blog iQ. I’ve also served as a regular contributor to Tiny Mix Tapes, Pitchfork’s hypnogogic spinoff (and sadly defunct) Altered Zones, and NYC-based avant garde powerhouse Ad Hoc. I founded tastemaking subculture hub The Decibel Tolls in Chicago in 2008 and ran it for 5 years. It was fun and people liked it.
- "I’m also co-owner of the boutique creative media firm Vectortone with Zach Hart (founder, We Listen For You) and Mark Evans (Production Simple). Besides booking a variety of venues throughout the city, we live a patchwork existence offering everything from promotion and event programming to branding, graphic design, photography, printing, and front-end web development for a wide array of small business..."
