Describe your style in three words?

Sports, Casual, Mod.

The first track you played on repeat?

Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow

‘Performance and Cocktails’ was the first album I ever bought in 1999. This came later but it stuck with me, as soon as I heard it I had it on repeat for days as a 16-year-old finding his passion for music.

A song from your favorite album?

Oasis - Rock 'n' Roll Star - Remastered

My favourite song from my favourite album. This is my karaoke song which I have sung around Europe and the song I used to put on in the changing rooms before football matches.

A song from your most memorable gig?

Arctic Monkeys - R U Mine?

Earls Court 2014. The Monkeys were touring their fifth album 'AM' and I went with all my mates. My first and last time to the venue as it was knocked down for flats a couple of years later.

A song that always gets you up and dancing?

The Jam - A Town Called Malice

The Jam and being from Brighton paved the way for Mod culture to heavily influence my fashion sense and personality. This was and still is a jukebox classic for me.

A new song you're listening to?

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - Cameo

The Aussie five-piece return with their second album and it’s wonderful. The band self-described as sounding like 'tough pop' and 'soft punk' combined.

Best song to turn up loud?

The Libertines - Horror Show

One of my all-time faves, aggressive, lyrically flawless and straight to the heart. Can’t remember how many times I’ve seen this band live, utter romance.

A song that defines the teenage you?

The Strokes - Reptilia

This was played relentlessly at my local pub with an upstairs club ‘The Pav Tav’ in Brighton. A dance floor filler which always brings back great memories.

An anthemic song?

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird

Phenomenal track. I remember hearing it first on 'Forrest Gump' and then buying their Greatest Hits. The best part of 10 minutes with a rollercoaster of riffs and melodies.

Best song to end an all-nighter?

The Stone Roses - I Am the Resurrection - Remastered

Reni’s drum intro always gives me goosebumps. Lucky enough to have seen them live since their reunion back in 2011. This 8-minute wonder encapsulates their whole band.
