ABOUT ME

I'm 24 Year old who lives in London and I work in a record shop and a Gig venue but have in the past promoted and booked bands, and hope to do so again in the future.

Music is my main passion in life, I bought my first tape when I was five (Michael Jackson- Off The Wall) and have been constantly surrounded by vinyl, tapes, CDs, Mini Discs and Mp3 players ever since. Film is my other passion, I went to the cinema loads as a kid (my parents would drop me off there to keep me quiet) and continue to go quite a lot now. I'm into reading, I attempt to walk everywhere which turns out to be not always a great idea, but I'm stubborn when it comes to that aspect...

I'm up for an adventure and to try new things, I've always lived in a city (big and small) so do enjoy getting away to the country every now and again,I'm really social, up for meeting strangers and open minded as to people's beliefs/backgrounds (liberal or otherwise) and ethnicities (you dont have a huge mixture in Norwich). I'm not entirely sure what I want to do in the future but kinda willing to see what comes along and pray for the best.

PHILOSOPHY

"you are what you love, not what loves you back."

"when your thinking the grass is always greener on the other side, take a moment to water your own garden"
