Since the age of 16 I've performed in metal, hardcore and punk bands, primarily singing and screaming in peoples faces across the country.

Black Years was the culmination of, at that time, a 15 year musical journey that saw me perform in pretty much every toilet venue in the country, several festivals and even some squats.

We released several EP's, played upwards of 300 shows, enjoyed radio play via the BBC and, somewhat miraculously, signed to an amazing indie label, Footloose Records.

For me, the most important thing of all of was every second on stage, sharing that time with some of my best friends playing music that we truly believed in.

Sadly, after nearly 10 years, we called it quits when life began to pull us in different directions.

As cliche as it is, music and my time on the road truly lead me down to the life I live now, giving me a passion to create and for that I'm ever grateful.
Opportunities to perform and create genuine connections to an audience, no matter how long they last, are rare and a genuine gift.

It's still a proud point in my life and some of the happiest times I've ever had creatively, if it weren't for music, I doubt I would have pursued art, photography and visuals with the passion that I do now.

OTHER CREATIVE WORK

I have created, produced and hosted a multitude of Podcasts for both clients and myself and I've also appeared as a guest on several business, entertainment and creative podcasts.

As a podcast writer for clients, I've wrote scripts and produced episodes of shows reaching the ten's of thousands of listeners, primarily focused on business and entrepreneurship.

My own shows have been based around the themes of horror cinema and gaming, leading to thousands of happy listeners, a spot on the Nerd OD network followed by speaking appearances at several major horror conventions as well as commentating appearances at video game tournaments in the UK and Europe. Pretty rad.

I primarily focus on high production shows with idents, musical beds and sound design, with a conversational and informative lean.

Podcast minimalism is not my thing.

Produced shows include Popcorn & Powertools, The Counter Breaker and The Franchise Entrepreneur.

In 2024, I was involved in the script writing and supervision of the award winning drama, Mute.

A collaborative project with the incredible young director and film maker, Kieran Shayle, Mute is was a very personal piece of writing for me.

A short about the deafening silence that comes after the music stops, it's a study of grief, hope and passion that draws on a lot of personal experiences I had post band breakup.

Mute performed incredibly well on the UK festival circuit, winning Best Director at the Manchester Short Film Festival, Best Actor at Big Fridge International Film Festival and Best Super Short Film (under 10') at the Director Talents Movie Awards

Working and script supervising on Mute was a genuinely rewarding experience and something I'm very much hoping to do again in the future.
