His music video work and content for artists and brands such as labrinth, maverick sabre, ne-yo, chase and status, ministry of sound, sony, universal music, red bull, beats by dre, vogue, wella. have amassed over 10 million views on youtube alone. His writing credits include two tv pilots that were developed by channel x as well as a short film script that was shortlisted for London Calling/SEFF in 2014.

He is a passionate director and artist motivated by a love for all things cinema and working with talented people. He also has a keen and encyclopedic knowledge of films that can settle just about any argument or situation. His favourite films at the moment are mostly Korean but he always goes back to The Incredibles when times get tough.
