Kian Gif

Having spent his teenage years racing and wrenching on cars, Kian studied journalism at university only a few years ago before launching his career as a fresh-faced intern at Street Machine in 2018.

Now a full-time staffer, Kian’s role includes writing for SM’s print and digital platforms, helping behind the scenes at the magazine’s premier Drag Challenge events, and filming and co-presenting Street Machine’s aptly named YouTube video show, Carnage.
