“What is your favourite music?” is the question I am asked most and it is extremely difficult to answer because I like such a huge range of styles. But to break it down over the decades – my parents introduced me to jazz, lounge and show tunes; my sisters introduced me to progressive rock; in my teens with my friends we discovered punk & new wave; in the 80’s I became a DJ just in time for house music; in the 90’s I spun acid jazz, UK club & brit pop; the 2000’s ushered in electronic, deep house, minimal techno & post rock; today I’m listening to it all.

Music is my passion. I am a frustrated musician – which is why I became a DJ. One day I will learn to play something. In the meantime I constantly explore new music.

Travel is my other passion. I am a frustrated pilot – so going anywhere in a big jet is my favourite journey.

I have explored some amazing places and had some wonderful adventures including safari in Botswana; parasailing in Thailand; ballooning in Australia; learning the bongo’s and skinnydipping (not at the same time unfortunately) in Cuba; snowboarding with popstars in Japan; floating on the Mekong in Cambodia; playing with snakes and monkeys in Singapore; playing with iguanas in Mexico; braving the surf in Hawaii; exploring a haunted mansion in Hong Kong; dining on a cliffside in Bali; haggling on the street in Shanghai; eating and drinking in Tuscany and enjoying the good life in the world’s great cities – London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Prague, New York, LA, Sydney, Barcelona and beyond..

I love to explore Tokyo on my bicycle, get in onsen hot water, swim, eat good food, drink good wine, write adventure stories, draught maps for imaginary cities, stargaze, daydream..
