About me
I am a freelance writer for VICE, The Guardian, The Fader, Shortlist and a few other publications. I cover culture, politics, tech and other bits. Up until 2017, I was the editor of VICE's music channel, Noisey, in the UK. Before that, I was the deputy editor of Clash Magazine. I also do writing and consultancy for branded campaigns, including projects for Vans, Adidas, New Era, Levi's, Fred Perry, Diesel and more.

    At VICE, I was the editor of their music channel Noisey. I managed a team of five writers and steered the editorial direction. During my time there we dedicated editorial campaigns to promoting conversations around music and mental health, supporting the re-emergence of grime, and establishing Noisey as one of the most exciting music editorial voices in Britain.
