🤯 Hey! That's me on stage! 🤯
I’m the founder of Platform ’96, an independent live music platform supporting emerging artists through headline shows, debut performances, and support slots. I’ve organised various gigs across London and Brighton, delivering 25 artist performances and working with artists such as Theodor Andrei, Glass Bridges, THWACK!, Glytsh, and Black Orchid Empire.
Highlights include producing the sold-out debut show for Glytsh, organising Theodor Andrei’s first UK headline performance after Eurovision 2023, and the debut of THWACK!, who later performed at venues across the UK, including Glastonbury Festival.
I oversee artist bookings, fee negotiations, payments, line-ups, venue coordination, and event logistics from planning through to execution.

Building on the success of Platform ’96, I invited LiveSphere Magazine to cover one of my shows, which led to an ongoing role in music journalism. Since then, I’ve published 14 pieces, including 13 live reviews with photography, covering more than 30 artists across 11 venues and festivals.
My coverage has included major performances by Maroon 5, Mika, Bastille, Ashnikko, grandson, Three Days Grace, Badflower, Only The Poets, Parkway Drive, Of Mice & Men, ten56. and Hyphen, alongside emerging artists from the independent grassroots music scene. I’ve reported from venues and events including Slam Dunk South, Hyde Park BST, OVO Arena Wembley, O2 Academy Brixton, O2 Forum Kentish Town, Dreamland Margate, Scala, Electric Ballroom, MOTH Club, and The Dome.
My reviews combine critical analysis, audience atmosphere, performance evaluation, photography, and insight into each artist’s creative identity.
My work has been recognised by Slam Dunk Festival, which shared one of my quotes on social media, and Bastille, who featured an excerpt from my review in their newsletter.
