Expect videos on:
🎸 Top 10s & deep dives into punk, goth, glam, post-punk & synth-pop, rock, metal, rap and any other alternative vibes that I got off on growing up.
🎧 Mindful music-making, DIY home/vanlife recording and side income streams that invigorate rather than demoralise
🚐 Creative freedom through van life, remote work, slow living, long walks, creative escapes and time with animals
🔥 Honest takes on burnout, reinvention, aging like a badass — and how to keep your mind and body functioning at their best

What if winning the game is the trap no one warns you about? 👀
My latest video breaks down why success can feel emptier than failure — and why the real win is something completely different.
This one’s for every burned-out creative, exec, or entrepreneur who’s wondering, “Is this it?”

How many neuro-diverse people do we have here?
You might find this week's video particularly of value. Or even if you are friends with, or the parent of, someone who is neuro-divergent, why not watch to gain more insight...

Do you think streaming supports artists?
🎵 Did you know that one Spotify stream pays an artist about £0.003?
That means even 100,000 streams = about £300.
Streaming ≠ Supporting.
I just dropped a video breaking this down (and what actually helps your favorite bands):

🚨 The Listening Post #003 drops today at 3pm (UK time)! 🚨
If I can get at least one track that makes you go OMG and one that makes you go WTF?! — that’s a win in my book.
These videos aren’t meant to be just a playlist of your favourites. The whole point is to nudge you outside your comfort zone every now and then — with a couple of tracks that feel like home, and a couple that might just rewire your brain. It’s about discovering something new to you, even if it’s been out in the world for a while.
I love making these, and I hope you enjoy watching them just as much as I enjoy digging up the artists.
Today’s journey takes us from light and ethereal… to brutally heavy… to “I don’t even know what to call this” — all in just 20 minutes.
That’s basically a tea break! ☕🎶

The Listening Post #002 drops today at 3pm [UK time]
6 great new artists from soulful female vocals to metal and one that is too strange to even categorise!!
This list was compiled entirely from suggestions in the comments section, although some were already on my personal radar.

It seems Ren is an even more popular artist (and subject) than I even imagined!!
I will be doing musical discovery videos where you can step outside your comfort zone into new genres and experience something new, and maybe even fresh, and I will also be doing a deepdive on an artist each motn.
However, I am up for doing more content on Ren. I have considered looking at his music from a standpoint of his lyrical content, or taking a particluar subject matter, such as illness, or social justice, etc.
What would people like to see more of that maybe is not covered by other videos already?
(PS I'm also open to ideas outside of Ren if people have interesting angles)

Apologies.
I am trying to read and reply to all the comments but it has become quite overwhelming as I am editing the next video as well. nd i want to make sure i get all the artists you suggest!
on another note the next video is looking awesome. the range of artist and music is mind blowing.
I want everyone to hear music outside their comfort zone alongside stuff they already enjoy because hey.. who knows you might even find a enw favourite artist!!
This thursday, a whole bunch of new artists that may well have just flown under your radar.
