I'm a broadcaster, writer and DJ from London with a passion for music, arts, mental health and history. I regularly produce and present radio documentaries and podcasts for platforms including BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service, Tate, and Boiler Room, covering varied topics, from British folk culture, to my mother's experience of schizophrenia, to Sabar drumming in Senegal, and was the recipient of the silver award for 'Best New Voice' at the Audio Production Awards in 2021, and Radio Presenter of the Year in the UKAN Awards in 2024.

 

I'm also an enthusiastic collector and sharer of music. I spent several years working behind the counter at Honest Jons Records in West London, and have been broadcasting weekly on NTS Radio for eight years, both as host of The NTS Breakfast Show, and Questing w/ Zakia. I DJ regularly at clubs and festivals in London and abroad, and have played for esteemed venues and festivals including Corsica Studios, XOYO, Berlin Atonal, HORST, We Out Here and Dekmantel.

​

My forthcoming book, Finding Albion, based on my acclaimed BBC Radio 4 series, 'My Albion', explores British national identity, folk culture and myth and will be published by Hodder Press in 2026. I've also written articles for publications such as Weird Walk and Resident Advisor, and have an essay published in a collection of essays by and about women in music called This Woman's Work. ​I also regularly lead radio workshops offering advice and support to aspiring radio makers and have worked on creative research projects with archives and arts institutions such as Timespan, the Stuart Hall Library and the George Padmore institute.

 

When I'm not doing the above, I'm singing, playing guitar, taking long walks in nature and reading weird books about pagans.
