Inside the mindset
of a sh*t
music producer
What the sh*t is this
An autofiction novel inspired by my own journey through the world of DJ'ing and music production in 2010s London. It's less about the music and more about the brain making it - the restlessness, the doubt, the gap between where you are and where you were sure you'd be by now. The scenes aren't real. The feeling is though.

I'm also pretty sh*t at writing about myself. Which is ironic, given I've just written a book inspired by it.
I make electronic music, I teach DJ’ing and music production at BAD Studios in Shepherds Bush, and I work at a performance marketing agency called Studio 34.
This is my first book. Obviously.

I’ll try to reply occasionally.
