About Me

Born in Bridgend, South Wales 1977. Moved to Derbyshire when I was 8, came to London at 18 to study to be lawyer and have parked here ever since. I am currently assuming the role of a writer with the FT, but poetry and music is what I wake up for.Started writing poetry about 4 years ago, and have since racked up over 200 gigs in London, France and Holland, and some people like the BBC's Radio 3 The Verb have even be silly enough to pay me to write poems. The Battersea Arts Centre have recently commissioned me to write a one-woman poetry show, which in its current guise is an autobiographical play in blank verse called With Tongues.Last year was a busy one for performing poetry at festivals, including the Ruigoord Poetry Festival, Latitude, and my first Edinburgh Show Invisible Ink with Nathan Penlington and Suzanne Andrade.
