Anthony “Ace” Patterson works for Longé Magazine as the Editorial Assistant, primarily focusing on proofreading and revising articles, documents, and other texts. Born and raised in Bridgeport, CT, Ace is currently a rising Senior at Columbia University, majors in Socio-Cultural Anthropology, and expects to graduate in May 2011. When he’s not editing for Longé Magazine, Ace demonstrates leadership in his other pursuits and activities, including writing and music. During the summer Ace is interning as a Staff Writer for Inside New York for which he will be reviewing the dining, nightlife, and seasonal events located in the South Bronx. In addition to his work with Longé Magazine and Inside New York, Ace has been writing and performing original Hip-Hop music for over four years and goes by the alias: “Tha Pyro.”
Music is one of Ace’s greatest passions, and he is constantly creating lyrics, working on his creative writing craft, and refusing to give up his aspirations. One could assume that Ace has a lot on his plate, but he juggles them effortlessly. For instance, after receiving straight A’s for his work during the second semester of his Junior year, Ace returned to Bridgeport on a Saturday afternoon (May 15th), went to a professional recording studio on May 23rd to record his whole upcoming mixtape in seven hours, and had written fourteen different songs during the in-between week! Always willing to work in the face of adversity, Ace has a strong work ethic and knows how to create, pioneer, and organize an idea, such as the Columbia University Society of Hip-Hop (CUSH) with which he co-founded with his classmates Mpho Brown and Jon Tanners. Due to his overall love for music, Ace has also been assigned to check out performing artists who send in submissions in order to write reviews that would then be published for Longé Magazine.
