Company/job title: Source Distribution, marketing co- ordinator
Years in the industry? I think it’s three now. I first started as a lowly sales chap on the phone at Turnkey.
First single bought? The first album I bought with my own money was Beastie Boys – Hello Nasty.
Favourite album? Aphex’s Drukqs, Music for 18 Musicians (if you can call it an album), and nobody can resist Screamadelica
Currently listening to? Everything Everything’s Man Alive, which I’m rinsing to death. It’s wicked.
Favourite musician? Richard James.
Which instruments do you play? I play the filter
Are you currently in a band? Yes, although it’s more like a one-man- band. The other members are Japanese and born in the mid-eighties.
