In London he worked in advertising and co-created Global Soundtracks, a music podcast made with Tom Ravenscroft before his BBC 6 Music years. He moved to Berlin in 2013, where he has worked as a communications consultant and raised three children.
His writing returns repeatedly to what he calls the geographies of belonging: the places, scenes and shared rituals that hold people together, and what happens to them when the conditions that made them possible disappear. His debut novel FOLK was published by Velocity Press in 2025 and longlisted for the McKitterick Prize. Hannah McGill called it "a warm, perceptive, funny and wise book about finding your tribe — how it can save you, how it can lead you into danger, and ultimately how it all goes into the person you become." Emma Warren, with whom he appeared at Faversham Literary Festival, praised its "new insights into the freedoms offered by illegal raves and radical youth clubs."
For Borealis Festival he created Argument of the Broken Window, a site-specific walking piece reimagining Emmeline Pankhurst's 1912 suffrage speech as a route through central London. His second novel The Municipal draws on his founding of The Night Trains, a cultural rail project featured in the Evening Standard and SUITCASE. He lives in Berlin with his partner and their three children.
