Where are you from?
Enfield.
What do you do?
I work in TV production.
What are you wearing from head to toe?
The hat’s by Euro Accessories, the guys who make budget fancy dress hats, got done on that one but it still looks decent. I found it in a vintage shop in Highgate. The shirt’s from Topman, but I customised the buttons myself, and my shoes are Dr Marten’s.

How would your friends describe you?
These were the immediate responses I got from a group text: smart, black, charismatic, passionate, gassed, altruistic, debonair, pseudo-intellectual, manners, and one person simply responded with the spade emoji…
What song are you playing on repeat right now?
Fela Kuti, Zombie.
What’s the best thing about being young in 2015?
The internet. No generation before us has had access to the infinite wealth of knowledge that we do now. It’s the tool that is (very gradually) closing the gulf between us and the 1%.
What’s the best party you’ve ever been to and why was it so good?
Benicassim 2009. First night camping before the festival started and some French dudes with a Lasonic boom box ended up taking over this derelict out-house. I found myself on top of a vending machine conducting a rendition of We Are Your Friends by Justice for an hour.
If you could ask the world one question and get the answer, what would you ask?
“Why do you chastise and oppress those who you believe to be different from you?”
