Personal profile
Research interests
Most of my published work has engaged with the study of hip-hop music and culture, but have also written on jazz, crowdfunding and the figure of the singer-songwriter. I am currently writing on a book on UK hip-hop in the 21st century.
Other research interests include:
- Popular music studies (especially hip-hop)
- Musical borrowing
- Film music and other forms of audio-visual intermediality (e.g. YouTube)
- Jazz (history, arranging, analysis and composition)
- The singer-songwriter
- Intersections between progressive rock and jazz 'fusion' in the 1970s
- Digital patronage
- Music and geography
- Mobility and sound studies
- The analysis of record production
