Harlan Friedman
Sports
In addition to running a successful marketing and event company, Harlan hosts a weekly radio show called Sole Free which currently airs on Stationhead, a new platform that lets the user discover new music and content with a variety of shows hosted by influencers. Sole Free is a show that talks about sneaker, art, fashion and pop culture and plays the music influenced by it. From David Bowie to Pharrell Williams pop culture and music have always been created hand in hand. The show features interviews with celebrities and fashion influencers, breaking news on sneakers, fashion releases and lots of new and throwback music!
Harlan Friedman has a long history in media. He was a deejay on the legendary WLIR radio in New York where he boasted the number one rated show on the station and was integral in helping break the careers of artists such as Coldplay, Maroon 5, Taking Back Sunday, Ryan Star, Phantom Planet, Good Charlotte, Matthew Koma and a host of others on the east coast. "Breaking new music while paying homage to the originators is one of my greatest joys in life. To have another opportunity to do so on such an innovative platform while talking about the incredible hype beast culture that has taken over the world is a dream come true for a creator. We are living in an exciting time where the lead singer from N.E.R.D. (Pharrell Williams) is now designing clothes and accessories for Chanel. Something tells me David Bowie and Andy Warhol are toasting and smiling about this whole movement," says Harlan
