ABOUT ME

Hello, My name is Adam Armitage, I usually get referred to as 'Armo'.

My two passions are visual arts/design and music, broadly jazz, funk, soul, disco.

Generally I'm really chilled and don't like anything too crass or anyone who is prima donna.

I care a lot about how we should live and organize life on the planet and have a great curiosity for it
