KingstontoLA merges the worlds of entertainment, music and art; creating a platform for artist exposure in Los Angeles. Staying true to the original roots of reggae and dancehall music, KingstontoLA is a unique experience for underground art + music lovers. KingstontoLA is the brainchild of Jamaican in LA Kalifa Madden. It is her story: being from Kingston and experiencing the myriad of cultures in the city of Los Angeles.

KingstontoLA’s top interests include: dancehall, reggae, global music, breaking news, fashion, art and entertainment.
The magazine has recently secured interviews with No-Maddz JA, Sevana, Mink Jo and Rootz Underground, through music industry veteran and KingstontoLA blogger Kat C.H.R.. Editor and Chief @HabitsDie is also a seasoned Los Angeles based writer, rapper and performer.
