Garrett Gonzales – News Editor

Journalist and online community maven Garrett Gonzales has more than a decade of experience at successful startups and is one of the more prolific writers you’ll run across on the web.

San Jose State grad Gonzales is the site’s go-to guy for what’s trending in Silicon Valley and is a keen American Idol observer.   Garrett isn’t a fanboy, but knows the scoop well enough to pick the top 12 after Hollywood Week or the top 5 after the top 12 are picked.   We credit those journalist’s senses.

Check out Garrett’s additional blogs about MMA and all elements of the Fight Game.

Paul Lorentz – Music Editor,  Silver Beacon Marketing

By day, a mild-mannered cube-dweller, Paul has been known to give transformative and life-changing karaoke performances by night. He emerged from toddler-hood with a passion for music. Everything he ever needed to know, he learned from Casey Kasem. Paul is still an avid collector of all kinds of music from the 80s New Wave he loved growing up to the songs his parents listened to on the oldies station, to the songs his kids listen to today. His collection encompasses nearly 6 decades of rock and pop, dance, jazz, folk, country, soul and hip-hop music, and a whole mess of Broadway cast albums from Oklahoma to In the Heights.

Mike Heyliger – Founder

Yes, you know it’s true.  Mike’s music blogging and reviews are found across the web.   We’re just lucky enough that he was a founder here.  This is the Mike Mother Lode.

Stumble across his reviews for a look at context-setting, no bs analysis.   His blogs are instructional as this veteran writer and insider mixes industry knowledge, data and a keen set of ears to burst bubbles, name-check hot newcomers (he told us about Vampire Weeekend two years before they went to number one) and engage in some awesome debate.

Mike also writes at PopDose and sites across the Internet.  His personal blog, Words from a Blerd, covers the world, with a big focus on music.
