JoE Silva

JoE Silva came to music journalism in the early 90's via poverty and isolation. Having accepted a government posting to Key West with his growing family, new records and concert tickets were suddenly impractical and out of reach. He could have reverted to his teenage practice of scamming publicists for freebies without an actual byline, but that hardly seemed reasonable at his age. So he and a friend launched QRM, the Southeast's Alternative Music Review. Hundreds of interviews and far fewer ads sales later, their backers decided to invest their time and money elsewhere, and JoE was forced to sally forth on his own.
