David Goldstein
Music & Lifestyle Correspondent
David Goldstein arrived in Miami from New York in 2011 to cover the Ultra Music Festival for a now-defunct music blog and never left. He has since built one of the most trusted voices in South Florida music journalism, with bylines in Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and Billboard.
His reporting spans the full spectrum of Miami's sonic identity — from the Latin trap producers working out of Hialeah studios to the underground house DJs who built the city's nightlife reputation before it was fashionable. He covers lifestyle not as aspiration but as anthropology: what people wear, where they work out, and how they spend their nights reveals more about a city than any economic report.
Goldstein holds a B.A. in Music Theory from NYU and is a certified personal trainer, which informs his coverage of Miami's rapidly evolving wellness culture.
