Other Work
DJ
I have DJ’d private events (Grey Goose, Hospital Club, Red Bull, Goethe Institut, British Council, etc), festivals and club slots all over the world. There have also been mixes for Boiler Room, Triple J Radio (Australia), Dummy Mag, XLR8R, OkayAfrica, Clash Magazine and i-D. Right now I’m playing a lot of disco-influenced house music and UK Funky, but I have pretty eclectic tastes.
Music Producer / Remixer
Over the years, I’ve produced several EPs worth of my own music as well co-writing ‘Don’t You Wait’ on the US #1 Solange Knowles album A Seat At The Table. I have also done remixes for Janelle Monae, Scissor Sisters, Three Trapped Tigers, Rowdy Superstar, Laura Marling and many, many more.
Model
As well as countless promotional photoshoots for magazines, newspapers and websites with Metronomy, I have also done shoots for brands like Dr Martens, Diesel Jeans and TSB Bank.
