Bedroom "musician"
I like to record the odd bit of music - check out my original songs on Spotify, or my SoundCloud covers! 👀
Things I'm into
- 🎸 Generally mucking about on my guitar or piano - sometimes writing music when the creativity sparks
- 🏃♂️ Getting out for a run. Finally have completed a half-marathon, maybe one day will try for the whole thing...
- ⚽️ Plymouth Argyle and FPL (both for better or worse)
- 📺 Finding a new show/movie - currently watching Only Murders in the Building, and have a new obsession with Dune
- 🐕 My scruffy terrier, Billy
- 🥖 Baking - especially breads/pizzas
- 🥸 Something geeky - probably Doctor Who or Star Trek. (Aside: I made a Doctor Who blog all the way back in primary school at like age 10, and it was basically what got me into this - my web dev/design career!)
- 🎧 Laufey, Chappell Roan, Editors, Loyle Carner, Clairo, Radiohead, Phoebe Bridgers are some of my current favourites. But I listen to so much stuff, generally indie/alternative
- 🦜 Bird-watching and nature. I'm an absolute amateur who doesn' really know too much, but I like watching/learning about birds, I find it really cathartic; I also love getting out for walks on the moors/coast
- 🕺 Seeing some live music!
- 🕹 Video games - Destiny 2 & The Last of Us: Part Two (unreal game!) are my current timesinks
- 🍻 Some kind of funky craft IPA beer
- 🎪 Glastonbury Festival - I have so many great memories there... if only I could make more by successfully getting tickets...
- 🍦 Literally anything made by Edgar Wright, or starring Simon Pegg
