Bogdan Bele is a lifelong rock fan and Metalhead. He has been a writer and editor for the best part of the last two decades. While his day job keeps him busy working on tech-related content, his other important love has always been music.

Bogdan's passion for music journalism has led to contributing to various websites, covering concerts by the likes of Ghost and Guns N' Roses. He also owned and ran a festival website for 15 years. 

Since seeing his first gig in his native Transylvania at age ten, he has attended a diverse range of concerts, mostly rock and Metal. Based in the UK for many years, Bogdan is always on the lookout for the next gig.

More recently, Bogdan began learning guitar but says it does not look like he will quit his day job for a musical career anytime soon.
