Greetings Pump It Up Magazine Readers,
As I write this editorial, we are seeing our nation torn apart by the senseless killing of an African American man. We pray for his family and for all who are suffering from the aftermath of such a tragedy.
Nevertheless I don’t want to spend much time on that subject.
Our June and beginning of summer theme is about EDM music and Virtual Reality.
On the cover we have Blazar, a EDM Specialist and super talent. His music has been on Billboard charts and had extensive radio airplay.
Also we have an interview with Cori Coppola, producer of the documentary ‘ House of Cardin which is already getting rave reviews. Cori as you can see by her last name comes from a family of historical film makers.
There are more surprises inside, so I won’t give it all away, but I invite you to open the pages and browse. I’m sure there is much to pique your interest .
So grab your copy and dig in for a welcome break from all the noise outside and also tune-in to Pump It Up Magazine Radio where we’re ‘playing it proud’!
Be well, safe and blessed!
Best wishes ,
Anissa
