As of February 2012, I've decided to stop updating this formally as a portfolio. Thanks for stopping by and reading what I've posted; I decided it was best for me to move on from this and focus on more creative work, instead of documenting simple in-the-job writing.

inthenews.co.uk: Music review - The Best (Janet Jackson)

This month has been a quiet one, though I'm sure you can see this as being relatively understandable. There's a few things to come in the next couple of weeks, namely a huge Album of the Year feature I'm writing over at Sound Screen. I'll keep you all posted, of course.

Until then, enjoy the latest review of Janet Jackson's 'best of' album.

inthenews.co.uk: Music review - American Standard (Dayna Kurtz)

I'd not heard of Dayna Kurtz before this moment, so it was nice to have a fresh look at an artist who is clearly doing well for herself as well as someone who has at least one high-profile fan.

Is her new album any good? Click here to find out.

inthenews.co.uk: Interview - Stricken City

After reviewing an album which can only be described as Damn Fine (pronoun), I got the chance to speak to Stricken City, a band I genuinely tip for stardom of some kind, as much out of hope as expectation.

Sound Screen: Music review - Malice N Wonderland (Snoop Dogg)

No sooner had I taken the position of music editor alongside the venerable Richard Chamberlain that I received Snoop Dogg's newest album through the post from EMI Parlophone. As my first review - one which I had to quality test myself, as well as upload and optimise for search engines and the like - it signals the next step in my career.
