Case Studies

Over half a year on the road supporting Black Sabbath across Russia, Europe, and the American Midwest — a crash course in stamina, diplomacy, and the uncompromising grind of life on tour.

Planned and produced a live-in-shop recording in Nov 2024: two new Creeping Jean tracks captured inside their vintage store, surrounded by floral shirts and old Levi's. Managed end-to-end: recording, filming, mixing & mastering; vinyl production, artwork, distribution and PR for Record Store Day 2025 — including two acoustic sets at Gibson on the day.

Installing a 20-metre neon artwork across Regent’s Canal while juggling bird roosting schedules, African hunting dogs, and storm-force winds — topped off with a flautist performing from a barge at the launch.

I presented the weekend breakfast show on TotalRock Radio for over a decade, later also hosting specialist programmes on comic book culture and music genres.
I also presented the breakfast show on Download Radio powered by BBC 6 Music, and Download radio with Totalrock.
I went on to present the late-night show on TeamRock Radio, before TeamRock's early demise.

I regularly give talks on art history and visual culture, having spoken at leading institutions including The National Gallery, Tate, The British Library, and The Wellcome Collection. My subjects range from visual culture to art and animals, with audiences spanning specialist groups to children and families. In 2024, I returned to The National Gallery as part of their summer workshops around Henri Rousseau’s Surprised! (Tiger in a Tropical Storm), leading interactive sessions for families as well as lectures for adult audiences.

I particularly enjoy exploring zeitgeist themes and cultural intersections — where disciplines meet, overlap, or even clash. I’m drawn to subjects where the everyday meets high art, or where animal theory connects with artistic representation, sparking fresh conversations that resonate widely.

At 18, I launched London’s first-ever French hip-hop night — flying in breakdancers, graffiti artists, MCs, and DJs from across the Channel. The show sold out The Jazz Bistro in Farringdon and lit up the city with a new kind of energy.

From gifting Jeffrey West shoes to Antoine de Caunes to pulling off comedy sketches in French, Rival Sons’ TV debut in Paris sent all their albums into France’s iTunes Top 5 overnight.

Tracing the roots of American music from Nashville to the Deep South, with pit stops in hidden towns and a finale at the Bishop Gunn Crawfish Boil.

Lion roars, lemur whoops, and elephant trumpets turned into a family game — blending play, sound art, and conservation.

From planned concepts to last-minute backstage improvisations, produced countless magazine cover shoots in unusual locations.

By far my most challenging project to date—one that tested every ounce of project management, touring stamina, and late-night logistical wizardry I’d ever learned. January 2021 brought me twins, in the middle of lockdown: a crash course in resilience, prioritisation, and operations (with a soundtrack of lullabies). Still the most demanding and ongoing project I’ve ever managed.

A series pairing writers with animals and conservationists: Tom Holland on Asian lions at Land of Lions; Helen Macdonald’s reading with raptors flying over the audience.
