Batshit Brexit

Jun 28, 2016 |

I’ve been quiet for a while, mostly because life has steam rolled ahead and I haven’t had time to sit down and write anything but now… Brexit. A campaign based entirely on prejudice and greed. I tried my best to forget about it whilst at Glastonbury (which I’ll be writing much happier things about in […]

Lemonade: Beyoncé’s sweetest lemons

Apr 28, 2016 | ,

Pray You Catch Me The album opens with Beyoncé looking down with graffiti in the background, presented in fur and corn rows. A vulnerable admission of infidelity begins: ‘I’m praying to catch you whispering, I pray you catch me listening’ As the word ‘intuition’ comes up on the screen Warsan Shire’s words spoken by Beyoncé. ‘You remind […]

Dear Beyoncé

Apr 27, 2016 | ,

I downloaded Tidal apprehensively. I’d seen the hype and knew I’d experience something both visually stimulating and musically mediocre but tried to keep an open mind. The first shot of Beyoncé with cornrows and a fur jacket looking down with graffiti in the background gave me hope – I continued to watch barely breathing. After 13 […]

Sex Work Is Work?

Mar 15, 2016 |

I wouldn’t normally share my BBC work on my blog but I think this is such a complex debate that really needs to be considered on more than one viewpoint. This is a story I put together for BBC Bristol (though the article below is not my writing, I provided the story) about how the […]

Red Bull Culture Clash, The Passenger Shed, Bristol 2016

Mar 8, 2016 |

  There are 3 clashes from Red Bull this year in Bristol, Manchester and London – but in my opinion Bristol got the best teams (admittedly London’s teams haven’t been announced yet…but our line-ups hard to beat!) We had: Butterz Sound Team Tectonic Stylo G’s Warning Sound DJ Die presents Gutterfunk Tectonic had to be […]

Little Simz, O2 Academy

Feb 18, 2016 | ,

Little Simz has been one to watch for a while, but she doesn’t shout about it. At this stage if you know about her, you know – but if you don’t there’s a chance you won’t find out until she’s dominating the charts. That’s how the Bristol leg of her tour felt. This artist has […]

Akua Naru – My Heart Is Broken

Nov 4, 2015 | ,

Akua Naru was at The Lantern last month – a spoken word artist that has been on my radar for only a year or so after a friend compared one of my songs to hers (massive compliment) but who I thought I’d never actually get to see live. Originally from Connecticut, US she now lives […]

Fashion Fun

Oct 4, 2015 | ,

When someone asks “so, what have you been up to?” I find myself having to judge that situation very quickly to avoid embarrassment because some people (normally close friends) genuinely want to know what I’ve been up to. It doesn’t matter how long the list is or conversation because we are both engaged in the […]

Foooodie

Aug 11, 2015 |

This (was) going to be a fairly short entry because I have SO much work to do at the moment. You know those times when sleeping feels like a waste of hours… But before I forgot I wanted to put up a foodie blog post because I’m really excited about food again. After diva don […]
