I’m a music psychologist (BSc (Hons, MSc, PhD), consultant, DJ, and the founder of Kinos Studio, a pioneering music psychology consultancy transforming how brands, teams and spaces use music.
My journey has spanned academia and industry, exploring how music shapes wellbeing, connection and impact by bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. From publishing academic papers and DJing around the world, to working with VC-backed startups and curating music for global brands, I’ve built a career at the intersection of music, psychology and innovation.
