I'm an artist, music producer, DJ, writer, broadcaster and podcast producer.

I make music under the name Ghoßt Assembly.

I enjoy finding innovative ways to tell stories, often with the aim of disrupting dominant historical narratives. My work explores queer politics and protest, underground club culture, neurodiversity and isolation. I'm interested in the dancefloor as a site of resistance and I seek to challenge the notion of club music as ‘throwaway’.

I draw particular inspiration from dub reggae (the studio-as-instrument); the visual collage work of Linder Sterling; The KLF’s comms-as-art-terrorism approach; and ZTT Records – “a radiant obstacle in the path of the obvious”.

I have a strong desire to create artistic connectedness and community outside of the clutches of social media.
