Bio

For the last 10 years I have been one of the founding and most regular hosts on NTS Radio; my diverse musical family. I’ve gained a dedicated following for my show, Midnight Marauders, by playing new music that makes my heart sing.

I have a deep understanding of the evolution of black British music over the last two decades, and I have been on the cusp of club culture from the Rare Groove movement of the early 90s to Jungle evolving into Drum and Bass, Garage to Broken Beat, leading to today’s Neo Soul and the New Jazz wave. I’ve often identified unique and genre-defining talent, bringing artists such as The Weeknd, Koreless, INC No World, FKA Twigs, Hiatus Kaiyote, Jessie Ware and Andrew Ashong into the hut, many of which have gone on to win major accolades.

 

Much of my career has seen me nurture talent as a music consultant. I have more than 15 years experience working with artists at all levels, from mentoring marginalised youth and developing their own voice to sourcing music for commercial names. As a creative developer I began by working with a wide range of young people, devising and delivering visual and performing arts-based projects - from radio plays to musical theatre productions and informal education programmes. In my time with NTS I’ve also trained many of the young producers; they’re great scouts and I value their input. 

​

Working on projects like these has given me the ability to both collaborate and showcase my skills, as well as support new artists in their personal development.  Throughout my career I have cultivated an unrivalled, valuable global network consisting of labels, production companies and major label artists as well as independent, homegrown artists. I thrive on new projects, so get in touch below if you're working on something exciting.
