“Peter Bailey is an award-winning author, journalist and founder of NiteCap Media, a cutting edge multi-media company known for producing the critically-acclaimed NiteCap conversation series in which Bailey engages in introspective discussions with A-list entertainers, business leaders and other newsmakers. Educators have implemented "NiteCap Live", the interactive format of the series, at high schools throughout the United States and the Caribbean. Bailey's latest film project, "Paradise Discovered", based on his New York Times Op Ed, "Has America Forgotten the Virgin Islands", captures the stories of those throughout the Caribbean affected by hurricanes Irma and Maria which Bailey himself survived and has since become an outspoken advocate of the region's recovery efforts. His first book "Magic City: Trials of a Native Son", a memoir on the life of hip hop legend Trick Daddy with whom he co-authored the book was praised as being "one of the pop music gems of 2010" by the New York Times. Bailey also made a foray into acting, starring alongside Lynn Whitfield, John Diehl and Keith David in the civil war drama "The North Star" after an award-winning career as a staff writer for Time, Newsweek and The Miami Herald.”
