About

Rebel strives to bring a thoughtful collection of contemporary music, art, fashion and design to our readers. We harness the counterculture spirit of our name to discover and share the most progressive of art culture worldwide. We rebel against typical media standards of cliched photography, mundane fashion, popular music and uninspired design. We are inspired by the artists and contemporaries we cover and invest ourselves in sharing them with our readership. By challenging the norms and focusing on truly forward-thinking content, we want to bring readers the inspiration to harness creativity and rebel against art and media standards, so they too can push toward the next level.

Brian Vu
Orange County, CA

An offbeat weirdo from Southern California. A guy who is always thinking visually and obsessed with design in all aspects. Likes sea salt coffee, hanging out with his corgi, and being awake after midnight to catch Nick at Nite.

Taylor Freels
Los Angeles, CA

A compulsive music collector/business scholar. Likes romance novels, Anthony Bourdain, Korean tea and exceptional Mexican food. Guilty pleasures include C-list dating shows, free plugins, and ‘lo-fi’ R&B.

Damanjit Lamba
Toronto, Ontario

A film student who first began to take a serious interest in music when she hit upon The Strokes whilst channel surfing on a late school night. When she isn’t wrapped up in the blogosphere she can be found watching classic film noirs and browsing Hedi Slimane’s endless stream of black-and-white photo diaries.

Bela Zecker
Chicago, IL

An olive-skinned kind-of-Argentine who somehow got the short end of the stick and ended up under cruel Chicago skies. While she’s waiting for her ticket out of miserable winters and unforgiving 21+ laws, she fills up her time studying journalism and European culture, perfecting latte art, hoarding music obsessively, admiring fonts, naming her future cats, worshipping her subwoofer and drinking yerba mate. She writes and takes photos sometimes too.

Mateo Szlapek-Sewillo
Adelaide, Australia

Mateo is a young man who spends his time plotting his departure from his sleepy hometown of Adelaide, furiously avoiding his University work, and convincing anyone that’ll listen – and some who won’t – that soccer is a legitimate intellectual pursuit. He enjoys trying to make sense of the world through music.

Warren Hildebrand
Toronto, Ontario

After escaping from a specialized mental institution in the Canadian arctic, Warren Hildebrand hitchhiked down the west coast with only a pocketknife and a series of faded Polaroids. After a chance meeting with Brian Vu in the Californian desert, the two formed a blood pact underneath a solar eclipse. He is currently residing in an unknown underground location working on a series of Super 8 video collages.

Lajos Nadhazi
Budapest, Hungary

Full-time musician from the heart of Hungary. An infatuated guy with a never ending ‘to do’ list. Holding over things keeps him busy all the time. A sucker for bicycles, sunny weather and hefeweizen.

Andrew Hill
Liverpool, UK

A lazy workaholic with a pendant for taking on a lot more than he can chew. Currently completing final year of University degree, running a club night, having a couple of part time jobs, running a blog, attempting a DJ career and generally trying to function as a 21 year old.
