Chris Mellides, Neighbor

Chris is native to New York and first began writing for publication with an emphasis on music journalism in November of 2003. Since then, his work has been featured in several independent publications where the focus has been on the arts and underground culture. He is a current contributing writer for <i>AMP Magazine</i>, a nationally distributed music publication, where he specializes in artist interviews. His natural curiosity of the world around him led to his one-year stint as a contributing news and feature writer for the ninth largest weekly newspaper in the country. Among other things, Chris is a very avid reader and photographer who finds fascination and beauty in observing the world from behind a camera lens.
