About me
Hi! I'm the editor-in-chief of the online music publication FACT. I have five years experience as a digital-focused pop culture journalist, editor and video producer, specialising in music and film. I know SEO, social media, web analytics and the music industry inside out, have extensive broadcast radio and TV experience and was named a "New Face of Creativity" by Topman in December 2016. I also co-run a pop and electronic-focused record label, 10K Islands, based in Los Angeles.
