About

The House Of Pop! is the brainchild of music and entertainment journalist El Broide. In 2020, Covid-19 brought a wave of devastation to the South African media industry with over 20 magazine titles closing their doors. After the closure of People Magazine South Africa, where El work as the entertainment editor for close to a decade, he saw that there was a gap in the market when it came to a news site that shares entertainment, lifestyle and travel news in an exciting, accessible way. Being at the center of the local entertainment industry, El wanted to use his contacts and passion for writing to uplift the industry in a time where information has become limited to audiences around the country. The House Of Pop! has its roots deep in all things popular culture. From the latest film, TV and music releases to travel features, event highlights, lifestyle news and interviews, The House Of Pop! promises to keep readers connected and entertained.
