Bio

I am a music, film and arts writer based in Glasgow, Scotland. I have been a regular contributor to The Wire magazine since 2018, and have written reviews, essays and profiles for publications including Big Issue, The Guardian, Tone Glow, The Line of Best Fit and Jacobin.I have a particular interest in queer cinema, fandom and the false dichotomy of pop and experimental music. I have interviewed musicians, writers and filmmakers including Sparks, Bright Eyes, Grant Morrison, Manic Street Preachers, L'Rain, Melanie C and Sally Potter.I have written programme notes for film screenings, essays for exhibition publications and bios for bands. I have introduced screenings and hosted Q&As, and I co-host the film podcast Overinvested with Gavia Baker-Whitelaw. I make zines about my pop culture obsessions and host a monthly show at Clyde Built Radio.As well as writing for publications, I also have over ten years' experience in arts and culture communications, with organisations including Glasgow Film, Edinburgh Art Festival and the Scottish Contemporary Art Network.
