Describe your style in three words?

Your goth dad.

The first track you played on repeat?

The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

Our family has '90s SingStar on the PlayStation. As my eight-year-old self was butchering this classic, my dad found his The Cure collection and my love affair with them began.

A song from your favorite album?

The Strokes - Automatic Stop

Long live The Strokes.

A song from your most memorable gig?

Phoebe Bridgers - Motion Sickness (Demo - Bonus Track)

An honour to even be in the presence of Ms Bridgers. This song was my most played in 2020 and I'm absolutely not surprised as it got played about five times a day.

A song that always gets you up and dancing?

INXS - Listen Like Thieves

It was a close call between something INXS or 'All The Things She Said' by T.a.t.U. INXS have been sewn into my favourite soundtracks and memories for as long as I can remember. Nobody can write pop that gets you dancing like Hutchence could.

A new song you're listening to?

Sounds Like a Storm - Make It Better

I reckon it'll be one of those timeless tunes that we'll have on our playlists for years - lyrically it's gorgeous but it also makes me want to throw on a leather jacket and dance about with my mates. 'Cheer Up Baby' by Inhaler and 'Fuse' by Stone are also close runner ups.

Best song to turn up loud?

Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff

You can't really listen to it quietly, can you?

A song that defines the teenage you?

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want to Have Fun

A lover of the '80s and worrying my dad by getting middle of the night trains back from gigs, armed with cans of Fosters and some cigs someone had stolen off their mum.

An anthemic song?

Depeche Mode - I Feel You

Anything by Depeche Mode is an anthem for me, I think they're one of the best bands to ever have been around. I'd sell my left arm and my grandma to see them live (sorry, gran).

Best song to end an all-nighter?

Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World
