One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked as a recording-studio engineer for a number of well-respected musicians, including a platinum-selling UK Grime Rapper

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a decent amount about music including the culture and history surrounding it after a decade spent in the industry. Have spent time as a music production lecturer and have taught a few people to play instruments in the past.

Enjoy jamming, play the flute, bass, guitar, percussion. Also enjoy programming electronic music with synthesizers, samplers and the computer.

Currently interested in learning about sustainability (renewable energy, organic farming practice etc)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ve lived quite an adventurous life, in many countries and cultures. I’ve got loads of great stories and am a fun person to have a conversation with. I love hearing about other peoples life experiences, and learning from different cultures.

I’m also prepared to help around the house with anything you may need such as gardening or cleaning or basic maintenance.

Lastly, I cook a pretty killer Guinness stew!
