Titus is a founding member and Editor-in-chief of RedFence. In past lives, he was a blacksmith, a security guard, and a newspaper reporter who explored tattoo culture, national border disputes, child abuse scandals and much more – that is, when he was not test driving cars or flying in various aircraft. He has lived in Israel, Germany, Poland and Italy and wandered other countries, always with a ready pen. His voices vary as widely as his subjects, though lyrical rhythms infuse each one.
Titus has written 86 article(s) for RedFence Magazine.

This little gem introduced us to Ellie Goulding [whose] hauntingly vulnerable vocals and lyrical ballads were voted the “Sound of 2010” in the UK, made her the Critics’ Choice at the 2010 BRIT Awards, and — perhaps most importantly — melted our hearts half a globe away at RF headquarters.

Eclectic Extraordinaire Songstress Eliza Rickman first crossed the RedFence radar when she opened for Nick Jaina at a tiny art gallery venue in LA.
