My last 16 years summarised for you.  

Where to begin? I came into the music industry through putting on club nights and running parties. I'd always made electronic music, but not that seriously until I was in my early-mid 20s. I was fortunate to have a product people wanted and at the right time and DJ bookings and music opportunities came a plenty for HeavyFeet. We remixed numerous UK Top 40 artists, released music on leading labels incl. Black Butter Records, which also led to a guest residency on BBC Radio 1Xtra.

​

I realised that much of what I'd learned as a DIY-minded creative could be transferred and after 5-6 years as the artist, I transitioned my energy into working with other artists (both signed and upcoming) as a product/music manager whilst also expanding my interests in radio (working with BBC 6 Music as an assistant producer) and as an educator (heading up the Music Business BA Hons degree at BIMM Manchester), which led on to the birth of Sound with Mike. 

​

As well as advising creatives all over the world (whose releases have collectively racked up hundreds of millions... probably by now, billions of streams), I also work with a number of carefully chosen organisations (including the eco-cosmetics firm, Lush) and have recently designed and led a music industry training programme for the award-winning Reform Radio (which subsequently won us a Youth Music Award in 2021 for Outstanding Project). I have been acknowledged as a leading practitioner in 'Sound Advice' (Jones & Heyman, Shoreditch Press), on ITV, BBC Newsbeat and in The Guardian.

​

I am based between Manchester and London (UK). Outside of my work within the music industry, I have a strong interest in human rights and sustainability.
