Welcome! I am a Michigan-born, Brooklyn-based writer, editor, blogger, and voracious consumer of media, food and music. My full-time gig is on the editorial team at eMusic and I’m also the home cook behind the food and music blog Eating the Beats, where I create recipes inspired by music. I’ve been a regular contributor to Billboard, AOL’s Spinner.com, and Critical Mob, and have been published in various other music and culture publications including The Village Voice, Under the Radar, Venus Zine, Heeb Magazine, filter-mag.com, and others.

I also like social media, maybe a little bit too much. Follow me on Twitter at @leebovel and @eatingthebeats, on Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, or e-mail me directly at laura [dot] leebove [at] gmail [dot] com. When I’m not on the internet you can find me either in my kitchen or market-hopping in South Brooklyn.
