Calvin Klein is collaborating with music journal Wax Poetics to celebrate the next generation of journalists who are shaping the contemporary music landscape through their own distinct perspectives.
Titled Plugged In, the project shines a light on four up-and-coming music writers who have been given a platform to share their stories, style and individual language in the music world. Selected from over 100 applicants, each of the next-gen journalists was offered educational resources, expert mentorship, and paid commissions to create a long-format feature about their favorite music topic, to live on Wax Poetics.
