2025. A totally crazy year for me. 💛
The Guardian — I made my debut for The Guardian with a review of Little Simz and have written a few more since then. Writing for The Guardian has always been a goal of mine (to prove to myself I was a proper journo) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rolling Stone — I made my debut for Rolling Stone (!!) with a review of My Bloody Valentine at
@factory_international . ⭐⭐⭐⭐
@seen_universe — I wrote an article on the Decolonisation of Electronic music interviewing DJ and producer Afrodeutsche, with a beautiful team of writers.
@dancepolicy — I wrote a cover story with
@bradleyzero and
@rhythmsectionhq , discussing Peckham as a cultural hub and its importance in British music! This was my first 'pitched' cover story. From my brain to print. It came together better than I imagined.
Crack Magazine — I made my debut writing for Crack this year and wrote a few features with
@annahstasia ,
@hotcocoacartel , and
@upchuck . And the EOY album and tracklist review!
Merch Market — I tag-teamed interviews with the legendary
@mr_dave_haslam for the Manchester Merch Market, helping bands sell their merch and keep 100 per cent of the income. Thanks to
@timburgessofficial for the opportunity.
Granada Studios — I guested on a podcast about Manchester’s music scene and grassroots venues with the team at
@soledadrev and
@oliarthurwilson . A big honour to be in Tony Wilson's presence at Granada.
Notion — I interviewed
@novatwinsmusic for The Artists Volume 2, talking about women of colour in rock music and being badass.
It Starts With The Music — I worked with
@soundwithmike to host talks in Stockport for young people interested in working in music. More to come 2026! Big up SK1 ! Home.
I reviewed
@weoutherefest for
@clashmagazine . Round 2. 2026? Best festival ever.
I think I've been in print more than ten times this year... which seems a bit crazy to say. And... I went to more gigs than you could imagine.
2026, what are you saying? Coming for ya. ✅
