South Londoner who loves to write about music, lifestyle and all the exciting or mundane stuff inbetween. I am two exams short of achieving my NCTJ diploma in journalism with five grades A-C under my belt so far.
A work placement at the Observer earned me a few bylines - one being on the front page.
I am a frequent contributer to God Is In The TV, Sample Face and was 1 2 Watch editor at Inspire-LS magazine.

The Beatles staged an impromptu concert on the rooftop of Apple Records in London. The average British house cost just over £4,500 and two million children in Britain were classed as living in poverty.
Interviewing J Spades is an interesting experience. His unique blend of laidback bravado - often punctuated with phrases like "power moves" and "independent hustle" - could easily be dismissed as the usual posturing and braggadocio that has become synonymous with hip hop.
