About me

Currently working freelance for a specialist marketing firm focused on the VR industry I have a background in both journalism and music/tech. I cut my teeth in music technology, bringing the SubPac brand over to the UK in 2013, and guiding it to its position as one of the premiere music tech brands around, spanning the world of music, gaming and VR. A lover of radio, I've produced, hosted and guested on radio shows in both Canada and the UK for Resonance FM, Studiofeed & Soho Radio. A forward looking fellow, I'm always looking to connect the dots between music and tech, hoping to do this with one of you lot!
