Playlist
I’ve put together a playlist that tells the story of my life and career.
Listen to it by launching the web player.
London Calling - The Clash
I was born and raised in London and grew up with a love for music of all genres. My older brother introduced me to The Clash and this iconic anthem.Three Lions - Baddiel, Skinner & The Lightning Seeds
As a massive soccer fan, I was captivated by the 1996 European Championships. I supported England and couldn’t stop singing this tune that could be heard coming from radios across the country.America - Simon and Garfunkel
My family and I moved to Houston from London. It was quite a culture shock. Even though we spoke English, it took time to adjust to my new surroundings — as they say, everything is bigger in Texas.Step into My World - Hurricane #1
I ventured into a new world at The University of Texas at Austin, where I got two bachelors of science — one in advertising and one in radio, tv, film.Lately - David Gray
I used to blast this song at my desk while working at my first job at J. Walter Thompson. The job required collaborating with writers, designers, and clients. I loved the creative energy.Kabhi Neem Neem - A. R. Rahman
My career took me to Mumbai next. I served as an entertainment reporter for Time Out. I covered television, film, and restaurants. This song comes from one of my favorite movies of the time - Yuva.Warmest Part of the Winter - Voxtrot
This song warmed me up on the cold winter days in grad school at the University of Washington. I studied digital media and delved into the tech scene in Seattle.Feeling Good - Nina Simone
To round this off, I had to go with Nina Simone. There is nothing like belting out a classic song now and again. This song is my go-to when I need a pick-me-up, especially now when working from home.
