About Me


"It's like when Andy Warhol said he enjoyed being bored. It's about that feeling that you get when you're not in control of it - you just go past thousands of places and thousands of people and you're completely removed from it."

Jonny Greenwood.

My Interests

im interested in everything
.talking alot thinking alot drinking alot. i am interested in going to the pub and getting lost in things, whether its a song im playing on my guitar, a film, a conversation, a pint of beer, a piece of artwork, a book, a song an album,myself, a place, a city, a person, a face, anything that inspires me and keeps me going. GOING TO GIGS ALL THE TIME. i think STANLEY DONWOOD is a brillant artist and writer, and JONATHAN GLAZER is an amazing director. (both coincidentally work with radiohead so i suppose im biased)

I'd like to meet:
