Ian Joulain is a music journalist by trade who has contributed to the OC, LA, and SF Weekly along with a handful of regional publications. After receiving his Master's in Journalism at the University of Southern California in 2010, a chance meeting shortly thereafter brought him into the world of copywriting and content creation. Since then he has formed a small business, Echo Chamber LLC with another journalist, and the two have taken on projects helping small businesses grow their brands via copy and some creative thinking. This new realm has allowed Joulain to diversify his skill set while drumming up business for his fledgling enterprise. Navigating between two disparate industries, he has managed not to compromise his integrity as a journalist while nurturing his newfound creative freedom. A punk rocker at heart with gastronomic tendencies Joulain has never met a beach he didn't like and hopes to one day hug a koala.
