My interests vary. I love good music, good food, good nights out with my girls. I love reading, walking in the park on a nice day, playing with my cat Ranger, the cinema, concerts and a nice glass of wine.
Anyone who is positive minded, friendly and honest with their music and their work. I would like to meet artists,labels,fellow journos - anyone interested in taking the UK further in music and media.If you require single,album reviews,interviews, features,biographies, press releases -feel free to give me a shout.Or check out the website:www.britishhiphop.co.ukI also write freelance so if you are a magazine/e-zine please contact me with any queries.

Far too many too mention but I will try to give it a go. Godfather 1 and 2, I liked 3 as well I don't care what the critics said! Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Shawshank, Tsotsi(big film), Ray, The Prestige, The Killer, La Haine,City of God, A fistful of Dollars, Jerry Lewis films, Calamity Jane, Malcolm X, Love and Basketball, Menace2Society,Poetic Justice,Juice,Fresh,Mo Better Blues, The Hurricane,Star Wars 1-3, Batman, Batman Returns and Batman begins, Spiderman, Goodfellas, Blow, Leon, A time to kill, The Italian Job (the original please), Carlitos Way -i'm I the only person who hates how that film ends? The Sound of music -and what I like musicals! Again, the list goes on.
Now this is where it gets serious. Ok, 24 may well be my favourite show of all time. Closely followed by Battlestar Galactica, The Wire, Heroes, The Dave Chappelle Show, Quantom Leap, Star Trek ( it's a toss up between Cpt Picard and Cpt Janeway - yes I know i'm a geek) Prison Break, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Sex in the City, My wife and kids, Third Watch and of course the news: BBC News 24.
Hmmm- wow this is hard! To kill a Mockingbird and Roots are 2 of my greatest books of all time but I also love books by John Grisham, Alice Walker, Michael Moore and The Bronte sisters (romantic at heart!).I like Thomas Hardy books but they're just so bloody depressing (Jude and Tess are my favourite). I love Arthur Miller and Tenessee Williams plays, I also love chick lit especially the Shopoholic set, Bridget Jone's Diary part 1&2, The real Donnie Brasco, Marvel Comics etc... I don't think I could survive without VIBE magazine and Guardian Unlimited online.
As corny as this may sound but it has got to be my mum, shes a real souljah sista and a classic Ghanian mother!
