About Me



Im 23. I live in South Birmingham and I work in live TV. I love the outdoors, come rain or shine, whether I'm skiing, riding or just hanging out. I overuse my trademark grin waaay too much, but I like it. Playing my music loud makes me happy but ultimately in my life, the simple things are the best, you really can't beat a clear blue sky or a perfect sunset...happy days! Oh yeah, my friends aren't half bad either...gotta love 'em.

Bloc Party and GTV A-shift in Wales:

NEW VIDEO PRODUCTION BY ME, COMING THIS SUMMER...

Featuring Scraptoft Life, The Parties, The Dance-offs, Student Cribs, Jonah Challenges, The Engersby Angels and the drunken ramblings of sooo many people. This has been a long time coming.

Bloc Party minus any sound. What a treat for you!

I'd like to meet:


All the people I miss and don't get to see often enough. Even if they don't want to see me. Old school DMU people! 2001-2005 Good times, where did everyone go!... And generally anyone who is fun and easy going, Ive always got time for the nice people in this messed up world!

Music:

Bloc Party, Blink 182, No Doubt, Madness, Aerosmith, Blondie, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Beach Boys, Metallica, Johnny Cash, Less Than Jake, Mad Caddies, Hundred Reasons, Disturbed, Coldplay, David Bowie, Blackalicious, Streets, Libertines, Killswitch Engage, Razorlight, System of a Down, Weezer, Editors, Embrace, DJ Shadow, Guns n Roses, Boxcar Racer, Dashboard Confessional, Badly Drawn Boy, Futureheads, Evanescence, Feeder, Farse, KT Tunstall, James Blunt, Lionel Richie, Stereophonics, Sting, The Cure, Groove Armada, Prodigy, Kooks, Angels and Airwaves, Paolo Nutini, The Fratellis, Kasabian......I could go on and on and on....Just depends what mood I'm in really, mostly happy bouncy stuff is best, especially when its blue skies and blazing sunshine! Music that reminds of the good times, music for life whatever the hell it is.

Movies:

Leon, Matrix, Original Star Wars Trilogy, Zoolander, Oldschool, BMX Bandits, Meet the Parents, Anchorman, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, Donnie Darko, Back to the Future Trilogy, Big Wednesday, Point Break, Super Troopers, Panic Room, True Lies, Natural Born Killers, Once upon a time in Mexico, Billabong Odyssey, Ferris Bueller's Day off, Mallrats, Clerks, Riding Giants, Field of Dreams, Shaun of the Dead...In fact there are too many films to list, the ones above are currently in my room though.

Television:

Y'know I can never answer this question. I guess funny TV and cartoon stuff like the Simpsons and Family Guy. But classics like fawlty Towers just rule. Oh, Later with Jools Holland and Peep Show. Partridge! As much as I enjoy TV, sitting around on my arse for hours on end doesn't always appeal to me. Go out and play!

Heroes:

'Flyin' Brian Lopes, Shaun Palmer and Lance Armstrong. Yeah they're all bike riders, but that's what I do. Ray Mears is pretty badass too and the graphic works of Alphonse Mucha (below). Warren Miller's series of winter films are a total inspiration to me aswell (below2). Not to mention most of my close friends who I have alot of respect for. You can learn alot from these people...oh and mum, dad and the sisters, of course. Maybe heroes is a big title but certainly people I admire.
