I'm a freelance journalist and interviewer in the music industry.

Hello, I'm Iceis. I'm from Virginia. I'm a freelance writer in the music/entertainment industry. My main focus is providing a more intimate connection with all of your favorite artists and bands, and highlighting all of the cool new music coming out in the Indie/underground scene. I don't really have a favorite music genre. Although, I listen mostly to pop, rock, metal, and all the different subgenres within those genres.




“The first step to controlling your world is to control your culture....To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.”

-Chuck Palahniuk

Essie Randles on expanding their sense of humanity to encompass their characters – Phosphor Magazine

Let’s go back to the beginning of your career. Was there a defining moment when you realized that this is what you wanted to do? I’ve always loved performing, and I’ve wanted to be an actor since I was a kid, but there are two moments that I can pinpoint. The first was when I was five years old, and I did a performing arts night at my school. I remember my mom saying [afterward] that it was the happiest she’d ever seen me in my life, and that made me want to keep chasing that feeling. I had a ti

Full of fun-loving yet still heavy experimentation, The Callous Daoboys continued to break the mold with the EP.
