When I forced my mum to create my first YouTube channel at age 9, I uploaded 10-minute-long Roblox screen recordings hoping I'd be the next big thing in my primary school. I wasn't.

When I used an editing software for the first time in 2017 for a review of the recently viral Jake Paul song "It's Everyday Bro," I thought I'd be the most popular kid in secondary school. I definitely wasn't.

Fast forward to now, and my passion for filmmaking, writing and cinematography has only grown and become a little bit more dignified. Between 2023 and 2024, I ran a self-branded YouTube channel celebrating niche and underrated British television programmes to an audience of over 30,000. The videos on that channel have received over six million long-form views, the most popular of them being a video essay on Derren Brown's Russian Roulette Live, made at the age of 16.

I am currently in university studying Television Production, and I have worked on many student projects, including a full-length live show (although I was just a camera assistant — but we move).

Currently, my main focus creatively is on a series called Track Record, published on its own dedicated channel. Each video is a full-length documentary exploring and celebrating an extraordinary album and the incredible artist behind it — before, during and after the record's release. The first episode received 6,000 views in its first week.

All videos are fully researched, written, produced, edited and designed by myself, with minimal outside input. All projects are intently my own, and I am proud to stamp my name onto them!
