I graduated from a multi media journalism degree at Bournemouth last year, and I’ve been working like a crazy person ever since. I live in Portsmouth, which is basically a black hole for culture, and since there’s nothing to do, I work a lot. I work part-time as a business writer and I’m a freelance music journalist too. I write for Fashion.Music.Style, Gigwise and Mixmag, and I’ve also been published on Drowned in Sound and NME.com.
My favourite song in the world is ‘The Sound of Silence’ by Simon and Garfunkel. The first single I ever bought was ‘Thong Song’ by Sisqo, on cassette. I used to think Ricky Martin was sexy. When I was 18 I paid a fortune and endured a two hour car journey with no second gear, to watch Oasis in Cardiff, where I’m pretty sure I got hit by a bottle of wee. My best music moment so far is blagging free tickets to Offset last year and talking my way backstage for Metronomy’s set – I was obsessed with them last year. That’s probably all that’s worth knowing about me.
