Barry Krutchik is a legendary #Hollywood & pop culture #journalist who has conducted over 2000 celebrity interviews across music, film & tv the past 40 years — from Bob Hope to The Beastie Boys, Santana to Seinfeld, Stevie Wonder to Mick Jagger, Jay Z, Keanu Reaves, Dave Chappelle, Celine Dion ... basically, the biggest stars ever! Whether backstage or behind the camera, Barry’s authenticity & quick humor helped high-profile stars feel at home, resulting in raw, unscripted moments.

After a decade, Barry stopped doing interviews in 2002. “By the third time you’re interviewing Peter Frampton, it might be time to try something else,” he jokes, a surreal realization considering that 12yo Barry would never have believed he’d even meet Frampton. So he launched Krutchie Entertainment and, using his vast trove of #celebrity contacts, began booking talent and producing high-impact media events for the Grammys, MTV, BET, Cirque du Soleil & more. But, as technology, public relations and the world of entertainment changed radically, Barry’s professional opportunities also changed. He was no longer a hungry young journalist but a seasoned gentleman in an industry looking for youth and diversity. Then, Covid destroyed his live events business overnight. Terrified, BK had to reinvent himself.
