Pj Perez

Pj Perez (born August 4, 1976) is an American editor, journalist and musician, best known for his reports and commentary on Las Vegas culture in such publications as "Rolling Stone". Perez was the founding managing editor of Las Vegas-based "Racket Magazine".

Perez made his first forays into publishing with self-published 'zines and poetry chapbooks in the early and mid-1990s while performing on the Las Vegas poetry circuit and singing in short-lived bands before beginning his freelance writing career with "Las Vegas CityLife" in 2000. After writing for a number of local and regional publications including "Las Vegas Weekly" and "Las Vegas Mercury", Perez was recruited in late 2006 to launch a monthly lifestyle magazine called "Racket". After "Racket" went on indefinite hiatus, Perez returned to freelance journalism, and currently runs the alternative news website [http://www.vegasinsight.net VEGASinsight] .

In the late 1990s, Perez played guitar in Morgana Athena, a Las Vegas-based gothic rock band whose single "1942" was featured on Dim View of the Future, a gothic rock compilation released by a subsidiary of Triple X Records. He currently plays drums in Las Vegas-based rock band As Yet Unbroken [cite web | url=http://www.myspace.com/asyetunbroken |title=As Yet Unbroken MySpace page |accessdate=2008-04-17] .

Perez graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with a dual bachelor's degree in journalism and sociology. While at UNLV, he temporarily served as editor in chief of "The Rebel Yell", the campus' award-winning newspaper [cite web |url=http://www.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2006/05/11/local_news/shrapnel/shrapnel.txt |title="Rebel Yell" appoints new editor-in-chief |publisher="Las Vegas CityLife"] .
