An Englishman in Stockholm

I have worked with music since 1999, first as a wannabe journalist at university, then as a real one, covering the local and international jazz scene in Barcelona, where I went to produce records and set up shows in collaboration with Primavera Sound.

While in Spain, I worked for Fresh Sound Records in Barcelona for five years on hundreds of CD productions. The label focussed on modern jazz recordings from the mid-1950s and also contemporary jazz recordings - including the first releases by Robert Glaspar, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Brad Mehldau and others. I also worked as a Content Acquisition Consultant for eMusic and as Communications Manager for mail order company Jazz Messengers, as well as helping set up the first AAJ Download Store back in 2006.

Now settled in Sweden, I work as a copywriter and editor in Stockholm, writing English copy for Scandinavian brands and creative agencies.
