Music
I am one half of indie-folk duo forestfloor. We make thoughtful and arresting unplugged music for fans of Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Adrianne Lenker, Radiohead. Gigs and a merch website are coming in early 2023.
Prior to forestfloor my music projects date back to 2001:
- Solo performer - while at art school in Kingston I was an active member of an experimental scene combining classical, folk and post-rock styles. I crafted introspective songs around fingerstyle acoustic guitar in open tunings. This period culminated in playing at Glastonbury Festival in 2008.
- Music producer - after moving back to Folkestone I self-produced many EPs and albums of brooding, atmospheric folktronica. I translated my compositions to the stage using live-looping techniques, and got some airplay on BBC 6 Music.
- Boo, Forever - a collaborative project with Si Norton, Ben Fletcher, Natalie Evans and Rebecca Aimi. We shared songwriting duties and I produced our eponymous album, released on vinyl in 2013 by Something Something Records.
- Minor Planet - my rap alter ego. I made a playful alternative hip-hop album and collaborated with local filmmaker Joel Snowman to capture a common experience of our home town from the fringes.

"The blending of acoustic folk’s soft touch and the cold, processed sound of electronic production is something that has been tried a fair amount but has rarely clicked into place. Kent based Boo, Forever can count themselves amongst the minority that have succeeded. Their self-titled debut draws from the likes of Tuung, Bon Iver et al that have a fellow penchant for mixing the new and the old, resulting in something that is constantly intruiging and whose layers of experimentation are easy to lose one’s self in."
