My artistic work and cultural engagement are rooted in my own music and in my long-standing connection to Preston’s local music scene. I am a member of the Lancashire Music Association (LMA), and I have been active in groups such as Preston Brewtime and The UP Project, which bring local artists together to collaborate and develop their work. Through my role at Brookfield Spaceplace (the creative arts charity I co-manage with Chris Davis), I engage new and existing artists to pursue their careers, offering mentoring, studio access, and production support. I was also part of Fullmoon TV, a YouTube-based media channel that showcased artists from the north, primarily Preston, giving them a platform for their music; I appeared as an artist on the channel and worked to bring new artists into the project. Across these activities, I position myself as both a creator and a connector, using music and audio to document, support, and amplify local culture.
