WORKING WITH TOP NAME TALENT  

I’m an experienced Creative Leader and Talent Manager. An Exec Producer, Audio Producer and Journalist with a track record of more than 15 years working with many of the biggest names in the industry.

Whether seasoned broadcasters or also coaching household names new to audio presenting as well as nurturing rising stars. My role includes identifying and securing the right talent for new projects that will resonate with audiences. As a result, I have strong contacts with talent agents and artist management.

My experience spans both live and pre-recorded music/entertainment radio shows, as well as documentaries and, of course, audio and visualised podcasts.

My advance talent management skills led to the privilege of being named ‘Best Music Entertainment Producer’ two years running at the Audio Production Awards, for my work with a range of top tier talent across BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music. (See Awards page for full list of accolades). Also see an excerpt of the judges citation under the talent montage image (left).

As an Exec Producer, for example, I oversaw the launch of the meaningful podcast ‘Where’s Home Really?’ with new audio talent, Masterchef judge, journalist and writer Jimi Famurewa. I worked closely with Jimi and led the overall production and creative. The podcast successfully won a British Podcast Award for Best Interview in 2023 - just 6 months after launch.
