United States of America

I grew up the son of a writer and mentored by for Sports Illustrated Writer/Novelist Jack Falla. I went to UMass Darthmouth as an English Major until I left on an existential journey to St. John in the US Virgin Islands. From there, I pursued music and writing as a full time passion.

I've been called "The Male Oprah Of DJ's", "The Mayor of Camp Bisco", and just plainly known and described as "That Is SoNick". Former member of the EDM/Mashup group Pulse FX, I now spend my days soundcloud diving for new tracks at my full time job, frequenting concerts in the winter until it's festival season in the summer, and taking full advantage of my wife's family and friends discount at Guitar Center. Doesn't matter if it's a Glitch Mob show or Chadwick Stokes, you will most likely see me holding court in the smoking area or side stage talking endlessly on all things music. From everything to new tracks, new artists, production methods and performance styles, I have an opinion on everything and I have no problem sharing it.

It May Seem Weird, But Boston Rapper Michael Christmas Might Be The Next Big Thing

There's a inside joke around hip hop that if you had you lined up every rapper trying to make it in the game right now, it would resemble the biggest "look alike" contest ever. Rappers picking the same old beats , spitting the same recycled bars and concepts we've heard a million times before while dressed head to toe the same exact way.
