Welcome to my website, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
I’m a Londoner who recently moved to Barcelona via Brussels, and my heritage is Scottish-Nigerian. I have 17 years experience in arts and music marketing, artist development, production and fundraising. I’m also a writer.
I’m currently working on artist development and communications projects with a number of clients including; Bandcamp, 64 Million Artists, Brighter Sound and Raw Material.
I also I teach workshops and mentor artists at The Roundhouse and Serious UK, judge funding for the PRS for Music Foundation, and write for publications like The Dancing Times, The Independent Theatre Council, and The British Council. Up until recently I was the Head of Communications at Fevered Sleep.
I’m also a Clore Cultural Leadership Fellow, and a former trustee of The Place (London Contemporary Dance School).
If you’re a music fan you might’ve read my former blog putmeonit.com, follow labels I’ve worked for like Accidental Records and Nonclassical, or have come to an event I programmed or promoted such as PMOI Live, Soundwave Festival Croatia or Deviation. We may have met at one of the arts venues I’ve worked at such as Sadler’s Wells or Bernie Grant Arts Centre.
To date, I’ve been featured in publications such as The Economist, Cosmopolitan, MU Magazine, Okayplayer, Spine TV and on BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra, BBC 6 Music, Rinse FM, and NTS Radio.
