Hywel Davies

Freelance Journalist

United Kingdom

For the past few years, I have been thrown into the deep end of music and media journalism. Building myself from the ground up, I have covered a lot of ground in a very short period of time and look to expand my career further into music and media journalism.

To date, I have written for five magazine publications respectively, which include Bass Guitar Magazine, Drummer, Rhythm, Acoustic and Metal Hammer with over 30+ published features to my name.

With a plethora of experience which include reviewing live shows, albums, guitars as well as interviewing some of the worlds leading musicians, including Avenged Sevenfold, Five Finger Death Punch, Bullet For My Valentine, Korn, Mumford & Sons and many more, no challenge is too great as I meet any obstacle head on.

My enthusiasm for what I do knows no bounds and my ambition to further myself is even greater.
