Eddie L. Bolden Jr. – Writer. Composer. Songwriter. Arranger. Engineer. Producer. Journalist.

New York  – Eddie L. Bolden Jr., 23 from The Bronx, has a passion for sports, music, writing, and news. As a senior at Baruch College, he is pursuing his Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Creative Writing after receiving his Associates Degree from the Bronx Community College in 2013.

Eddie Bolden became immersed in writing during his junior year in high school, where he received one of the highest grades in the English regents in the Bronx.  He attributes his development in his writing proficiency to his high school teacher.

“Mr. Q pushed me to enhance my writing skills. He said I had a gift for it,” he stated.
He used to tell us “What the media doesn’t tell you can hurt you.”

Bolden has interned at The Brooklyn Game, a website focusing on the Brooklyn Nets, where he acquired some experience in publishing stories and although he loves writing about sports, he did not want to limit himself to one genre.

“I think I want to be able to do a little bit of everything,” he said about his future as a writer.
“It’s good to be multifaceted. I’m a creative at heart.”

Bolden recently published an article on the Baruch College’s award winning Journalism magazine Dollars and Sense, Where Typewriters Get a New Lease on Life.

“I’m so glad I was able to get that published,” said Bolden.

Bolden was awarded the Chris Brown Institutional Investor Journalism Scholarship for next semester and wishes to continue his writing career in hopes that he can better the world.

When not writing stories on sports, news or publishing articles, he is writing and editing his own music.

“I want to make sure I set myself apart.”
