I maintain to this day that the first CD I ever owned was Björk, Post. I do concede however that my early introduction to decent music as opposed to manufactured pop was down to having well meaning brothers, rather than prodigious taste.

As proved by my teenage years, my tastes slipped somewhat, along with any ability to focus on anything other than being the best punk rock drummer of all time… This phase didn’t last forever, with me going on to play double bass in both classical and jazz groups, and drums in some slightly more reputable indie projects. 

Point being: I have passed through many different genres, and don’t regret any of them. I like to spend my slightly more evolved state listening to indie bands such as Born Ruffians, Holy Fuck, Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective, electronic music from the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Fuck Buttons and Dan Deacon, and dancing to Whitney Housten. I also like to be surprised by home grown talent, such as South London hipsters La Shark. 

To top it all off, I write a lot: studying English and Philosophy, it’s kind of unavoidable. So to mix it up I’ve started to combine my two big things… music and writing. I can also take a pretty good photo, so if any of you budding bandsters want me to come along and make your moves look sexy and write you up on this here website, look me up.
