Melanie J. Cornish

Melanie J Cornish began her journalism career at the London School of Printing the early nineties. Always a lover or music it was during her tenure in New York City that she finally picked up her pen again. Picking up where she left off after leaving LCP, Melanie J Cornish found herself comfortable in the world of Hip-Hop journalism.

Having interviewed over a thousand rappers, producers, executives and various other notables involved in the music industry, Cornish then proceeded to set up her own publicity company, Critical Marketing and Media Group which handles the publicity of G Unit's founder and former President, Sha Money XL, super producers Jake One and Hi-Tek, NYC lyricists Donny Goines and Fokis.

Her first book, The History of Hip-Hop was published earlier this year by Tick-Tock and Crabtree and is available in all good book stores. She currently resides in the North of England where she lives with her daughter.
