Author Bio - Ian Pook

Name: Ian Pook

Location: Bristol

Hi I’m Ian. I have previous promotional experience working for the Engine Shed in Lincoln and the o2 Academy in Bristol. I completed a Media Production degree in 2007 and have since been running Broken Logo, a music branding and promotions company in Bristol.

 I’m addicted to anything creative. I write music, scripts, illustrate, take photographs and am a graphic designer too.

 Musical Tastes: When people say they like all types of music, half of them don’t mean it. I’m one of the ones who does. Whether its afro-beat from Fela Kuti, mathcore from Dillinger Escape Plan, dance from Justice or some good old jazz from Miles Davis, I listen to anything and everything inbetween. But if you really want to grab my attention, drop The Mars Volta’s name and I’m all ears.
