Shamika Sykes

Seeing writing as one of her other loves, Shamika decided to get her feet wet in journalism in 2010 when she started her own blog called Memoirs of a Party Girl, writing her own reviews on music, even interviewing up and coming artists as well as DJs. In 2013, she became one of the many writers for the famed Jack Thriller site, where she learned to hone in more on her interviews.

She has contributed her writing skills to many music sites in between the 3 years, but her firecracker personality and unfiltered outlook on the music scene lead her to not only to become a contributing writer for both lifestyle magazine, Urban, and for the TripleHQ website, but also as the Head Writer for the provocative Fish N Grits Magazine in 2016.

This year, Shamika has been hailed in BuzzFeed's 99 Successful Women In Journalism and shows no signs of slowing down. She has with her 8 years of independent artists, the newest stars, hip hop legends and actors of some of TV's top shows.
