Personal Brief
Frankly I am now and from this point on all about expression from writing and song. I use to freelance for the Independent but needed the freedom this Riot lark gives me. I will be writing a book and recording songs in the coming months.
I love big thoughts and feelings, brilliant words and people with the guts to show themselves. Heart.Life is too short for anything else.
Artists on your radar, shout them out!
Flying artists are these? Well on my musician sonar you might find Emre Turkmen. My writer chest x-ray is mainly full of worrying Russian blots. Tolstoy is my man but I might be growing out of it. 'To perceive is to suffer' to quote some Greek. Anything I like has to have that sense in it. I liked big T as he also got across the beauty of consciousness and life. Few can do that.
Which is your number one location – and what’s it best for?
'Man is never more genuinely himself than when at play'- to quote the same hummus vendor. So anywhere, thing or one that removes you from you.
‘Getting creative’, what’s it all about?
I care a lot about art as sometimes the only way to genuine communication. It is spiritual Bluetooth people. We'd be really fucked without it.
Your Life, Right Now – what’s the soundtrack?
Danny Boy in my headphones at the front of some bus. I like to euphorically weep on the 254.
What is your idea of a jolly good time?
Look we're all hanging on for when we really fall in love and you know it. So either that or chucking all the hate and self handicapping rubbish from my mentality.
What happened the last time you were a complete disgrace?
I think when I went into an ex gf's bedroom and had this awful Pavlovian reaction. I just instinctively pulled my jeans down. Before I realised what I was doing she was looking at me from the door way with a look that just said 'WTF?'
In this city, where is your most romantic spot?
On that bridge over Camden Lock. I had my first kiss on it with a girl who now works for a military think tank. She tasted of Fosters and Marly lights and there were fairy lights all around.
