Hi! I’m Russel...

I’m a video producer, journalist, shooter-editor, and on-camera reporter based in New York City with over 10 years of industry experience.

I love telling stories about music, pop culture, internet trends, and one-of-a-kind people. I’m currently a video producer for NBC News and Stay Tuned.

I previously reported on camera about hip-hop and music news at Genius, interviewing artists such as The Kid Laroi, Denzel Curry, and Takashi Murakami.

I also managed a team at Yahoo, where I launched the Gen Z brand In The Know and oversaw branded video campaigns internationally for Tourism Ireland and the NFL London Games.

My career started as a morning TV reporter at WMBF News, the NBC affiliate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I studied digital and broadcast journalism at The University of Georgia.​
