Profile
Everyone says it, but in my case it’s true; I enjoy a wide selection of musical genres; indie, rock, electropop and acoustic singer/ songwriters – Regina Spektor and Jenny Owen Youngs, to name just two. This means I can attend a number of gigs without getting bored of hearing the same kind of sound.
I co-present a one-hour radio show dedicated to new music and our favourite anthems. The show, called The NightFly, delivers electro, punk, rock, indie and the classics, with gig guides and club night recommendations. It’s a great excuse to get the music you love played on air!
Aside from music and gigs, I’m interested in photography and travelling to new cities; basically I just like things that keep my attention.
