Music, Movies, and Books

I've been a musician most of my life, and work as a composer for films and other media. My favourite artists are Tchaikovsky, TTNG, Tigran Hamasyan and Francisco Tarrega; that said I love music from every and any genre and a playlist of some of my favourites can be found here:

My favourite author is Arthur Conan Doyle, but I also enjoy David Crystal and other authors who write on the subject of human language.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the Great Wall of China - twice!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a professional musician and back home in New Zealand I had several students. I'm also a huge language nerd and love grammar and interesting etymologies. I'm always to help with, discuss or learn about either!

What I Can Share with Hosts
