Begai began his writing career in October 1993 as a contributor to M.E.A.T Magazine, a Toronto-based metal fanzine distributed across Canada that was available for free.[citation needed] At the end of 1996 he joined the ranks of Toronto-based metal magazine Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles (BW&BK). He has contributed to every issue since, having become one of the key writers on staff.[3] In May 2005 Begai added the BW&BK website Bravewords.com to his mag-related duties, joining other staff members in reporting metal news on a daily basis.
Begai has also contributed to the regional German rock fanzine Rock City News (better known these days as RCN)[citation needed] and was a copy editor for the English language edition of the German gothic culture magazine Orkus for two years.[citation needed]
Begai is the co-writer and collaborator on ex-Bonfire bassist Joerg Deisinger's memoir, Fire And Fame, released independently in August 2008.[7] He is currently working on a book of his own entitled Won't Go Quietly, a work of fiction inspired his experiences in the music industry.
