I teach at Goldsmiths, University of London, where I’m Professor of Music and Associate Head of the School of Music, English and Theatre. I got into music seriously as a kid, listening under the covers as hip hop crept onto the country’s airwaves; I soon worked back to soul and then jazz.

Please use the form below if you’d like to get in touch. If you’re interested in postgraduate research, Goldsmiths has a range of supervisory expertise for MPhil/PhD projects in twentieth- and twenty first-century musics. I’m particularly keen to hear from potential applicants working on historical topics.
