About Me

New Yorker turned Londoner since '01, I like to read Alternative Press magazine, wear cardigans, and listen to the "Hi My Name is Mark" podcast.
I adore post-punk, emo-core, nu-rave, and labelling the music I listen to in categories to confuse people.
Most days I work on the fashion accessories label called Made In Shoreditch Somewhere I started about 4 years ago. It's fun and gives me a reason to dispense the 2,500 business cards I have ordered.
