I am an artist, creative producer and promotions creative working within the independent music, art and community sectors.
In October 2006, I had the privilege of being awarded with a National BBC Urban Music Bursary in support of my work as an emerging creative producer.
Current projects include an audio/visual collaboration with chanteuse Andreya Triana as part of our 'Dreamscape Soul Sessions' and frequent jaunts to Manchester's 'Sketch City' and Leeds' 'Best Joined Up' Live Art Jams.
As an artist I create work influenced by my dual heritage mixed with contemporary street inspired styles and techniques.
As a producer, I have created and curated a number of street art exhibitions/projects such as ‘The Art of Hip Hop’ (2006) and a live public art installation entitled ‘FriezeBox’ (2007).
As a promotions creative; I have worked in the independent music industry for over 6 years, developing successful marketing campaigns, tours and opportunities for a diverse and talented range of musicians, singers, emcees and artists; working with labels like Tru Thoughts, Zebra Traffic (2001-2005), Mr. Bongo, Breakin’ Bread, Beer and Rap, First Word Records and initiatives like Rising Styles International Festival (formerly known as Brighton Hip Hop Festival) (2006 & 2007) and Live Graffiti Battle Showcase ‘ Secret Wars’ (2007).
I have been lucky enough to showcase, represent and collaborate with a range of both emerging and established UK musical and artistic talent. Currently freelancing, I work on a variety of independent music and art projects as well as continuing to develop my own artwork.

Subdub&Exodus, New Bohemia, Vagabondz & The Doctors Orders have joined forces with Compost Records and the radio show Soulsearching to bring you an incredibly special weekend of music covering the best in Dubstep, reggae, hiphop, broken beat, drum & bass and dance-floor soul music on a setting taken straight from paradise.
The festival site is in the gorgeous surroundings of Petrcane, close to Zadar, A fishing village on a peninsular where the Dalmation Coast meets The Adriatic Sea. For those in the know it will be recognised as the same sight that the Garden Festival is held. It has an outside Amphitheatre for live acts, a Beach Side Terrace for day & night time dancing and a 1000 capacity nightclub for the beats to go on right through the night. At this beautiful site you can swim in the glistening Adriatic, dance on the beach under the stars, join us aboard the swashbuckling Argonaut Boat Party, get your groove on to a Funktion 1 Soundsystem in a retro Studio 54 styled nightclub or relax beneath the pines along the forested coastline.
Other acts confirmed include:
Foreign Beggars Dj Chef/Chefal Bun Zero Ruckspin SMB INC & Medison Fliptrix Mc's Jila Andlar & Gusto + more to follow
