I began my career in music 10 years ago, assisting on community radio stations like Balamii, NTS and Worldwide FM. Inspired by the art of broadcasting and music curation, I started to DJ my own selections out in parties, bars and clubs. Notable gigs over the last decade have included Lost Village, We Out Here, Basket Of Light, Jazz on Wick and Shubbak festivals as well as opening up for Erykah Badu at the Southbank Centre and playing alongside Andrew Ashong, Marc Mac and Vikter Duplaix.
In addition to DJing, I’ve worked across the music ecosystem from education to radio – including BBC Music Introducing, Mixcloud, Bass Culture Research, Demon Music Group and more. I’ve also been a contributor for former publication gal-dem and my article on the Windrush scandal was referenced in a Goldsmiths University lecture and footnoted in a Routledge book on Windrush policy. Additionally, during my time at Runnymede Trust in 2019, I facilitated a conversation on Sky News’ Sunrise programme to talk about the lack of diasporic and ethnically diverse histories in the UK curriculum. In 2021 I helped with the initial launch of London based community radio station Voices radio, of which I currently present a monthly music show.
