As a kid from New York, with a mother from Bermuda, Kiwan Michael Anderson dreamed of working close to celebrities and musicians. Those dreams came true right from the start of his career at Arista Records and then Source Magazine doing communications. During the course of his professional journey, he moved to roles both in-house and in agencies where he had continued doing PR in the world of luxury and celebrity lifestyle brands.
