About Me

I work in the arts and media - main work is press, marketing and audience development but I also write and DJ...I rarely do some acting (maybe once every 2 years) - I started off as a DJ and actor in the 1980's and early 1990's, then moved onto directing and producing theatre...I love traveling, meeting new folk and hangin' out with my people...both family and friends...I have a few things that I am passionate about including tattoos, movies, B-BOY culture and listening to funky music from around the globe - from Latin Hip-Hop to Bollywood Vibes to Bhangra Beatz to Disco Highs!!!

My Interests

music, movies, gym, traveling, reading, theatre, cinema, arts, DJing, comix, clubbing, dancing, live music and comedy, eating out and shopping...and supporting organisations that are set up to protect the environment, human rights and wildlife!!!

I'd like to meet:

Creative souls from across the globe - peace and respect!!!
