I am a music historian and artist based in Cleveland, Ohio. I have a Bachelors of Arts in Music in Culture and minor in Political Science from Miami University (OH). I am the Founder of Grapevine Zine! I have always wanted to create a series where I can talk about my favorite musical topics and history. I love making connections between different eras as well as the political impact on music. My main role in the zine will be writing and art! I am pleased to create this project with a group of lovely friends.

I’m a student at Fordham University in NYC majoring in Communication & Culture, but I’m proud to call Cleveland my hometown! I’ve worked in the music industry in various capacities (publicity, venue operations, A&R) and hope to keep doing so after graduation. I love thinking about the intersection of music with other forms of pop culture and the media and am excited to discuss the effects that music communities have on our expressions through Grapevine!

I am a designer and illustrator based in Cleveland. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication Design. I have a passion for combining music with design and am excited for this opportunity to showcase it!

Hi! My name is Sierra, and I’m a historian based in Cleveland. I have a Bachelors of Arts in History and a minor in Anthropology from Cleveland State University. Music has always been a special interest of mine, mixing with my love of history as a child. Growing up, I had incredible history teachers that inspired my love of the subject. Through college, I studied public history, hoping to build a career where I can spread my love of history to others. So, through this zine, I will share stories about music history throughout the decades: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Hopefully, you too can connect with history through these stories and relate to the people of the past.

I’m a multi-disciplinary creative with a B.A. in Communication & Digital Content Production. I’ve worked in the music industry since college and have no plans to ever leave, doing everything from writing and photography to collages and video content. I like to say that I’m helping people make memories through music, and that’s what I bring to all my work. Outside of my jobs and Grapevine, I spend all my free time making lesbian collages out of old magazines, books, and more. You can find some of my work in past issues of Grapevine!

Artist/Graphic Designer/Illustrator from the Cleveland area. I have a BFA in Visual Communication Design. Excited to be here ＼(^-^)／

Multimedia artist born and raised on Prince Edward Island, Canada. In 2020, I moved to New York. After leaving my job in Manhattan at The Museum of Modern Art, I came to Cleveland in October of 2023. I specialize in hand sewn puppets, crochet & fiber arts, and acrylic painting, with a hint of poetry, photography, print making and proofreading (where Grapevine comes in!). I would call myself a general 'jack of all trades, master of none' when it comes to art.
