I am a non-fiction writer specialising in the study of popular music, and have published over 50 books, chapters, and articles on the subject. I regularly feature as a ‘guest expert’ across various UK media, including The Independent, Sky News, Daily Mail, BBC Five Live, The London Standard, and The Economist, and internation media such as via 24 Horas (Spain), El Sol de Salamanca (Mexico), Business Mirror (Philippines), Hindustan Times (India), Der Tagesspiegel (Germany), France 24, and Radio New Zealand. I am a long-suffering Spurs fan (is there any other kind?), sub-standard guitar and bass player, and lover of Trailer Park Boys, The Simpsons, and Twin Peaks.
