Biography
In what started simply as an occasional hobby, I now review singles, EPs, albums, live performances and festivals for several publications, which have included Gigsoup, Too Many Blogs, God is in the TV (including Nordic Music Scene for two years), The Skinny and Backseat Mafia. I initiated Nordic Music Central in October 2021, dealing with 'indie' artists and bands and news and reviews from across the region and I tend to focus on artists from that region (but not exclusively). I also undertake interviews and have more than 3000 reviews and articles to date in total.
All genres of music except as in 'what do you not cover' unearthing/introducing new artists historical pieces some economic/political issues related to the music industry.
Rap, grime.
