I'm a Londoner who turned 30, using the time I used to spend propping up bars and spinning on dancefloors writing about music, fashion, films, cities, design and bicycling. I position myself somewhere between Joni Mitchell and The Dude. I live in sedate North London and work amongst the hipsters of East London. Made in Yorkshire.
