A few weeks ago I was interviewed by the lovely Sue Dougan for her Track Record radio show.
The show is a mix of chit-chat about my career alongside some music that floats my boat. You can get an earful right here if you’re up for it.
WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT
- Why I became interested in creativity and innovation
- The process that leads to great ideas
- Some strange jobs that I’ve done over the years
- My life as a musician
- My stint as a graffiti artist
- A brief spell as a radio broadcaster writing poems live on air
- A little bit about advertising
- My difficulty with job titles
THE MUSIC I SHARED
- Screamin’ Jay Hawkins – Frenzy
- Prince – Raspberry Beret
- Blues Brothers – Everybody Needs Somebody
- Jimi Hendrix – Crosstown Traffic
- Muddy Waters – I Can’t Be Satisfied
- Trombone Shorty – Here Come The Girls
- Johnny Cash – Hurt
- The Sex Pistols – God Save The Queen
You can find the tracks on a Spotify playlist right here if you fancy enjoying them in full without me blathering in between them.
And there are more audio interviews coming up very soon.
