Christian John Wikane

Christian John Wikane is a NYC-based music journalist whose passion for his subject matter stems all the way back to age two when he heard "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross on a scratchy 45 rpm. He holds a BS in Media, Culture & Society from Northeastern University where he studied the relationship between popular music and socio-cultural issues. After his arrival in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan, he became a voting member of the Dance Music Hall of Fame, volunteered for LIFEbeat, and wrote artist features for David Nathan's Soulmusic.com.

Christian is currently a Contributing Editor for PopMatters and writes for SoulTracks. His work has also appeared in the Boston Herald and the Edmonton Journal.
