Artists on your radar, shout them out!

Haley McGee and Kyo Choi for playwriting. Taylor Swift for music and songwriting. Cecilia Vicuña for installations.

Tintico Café in Finchley. It’s perfect for writing and people watching (in a non-creepy way).

'Getting creative', what's it all about?

Following your gut instincts and focusing on the process, not the outcome. It's also about ignoring the voice in your head that says "this is never going to work."

Vamonos - Book & Haviah Mighty

Break My Soul - Beyonce

august - Taylor Swift

Anthem Part Two - blink-182

What is your idea of a jolly good time?

Karaoke and pancakes for dinner.

What happened the last time you were a complete disgrace?

When I watched High School Musical (it was lockdown #3 in my defense).
