His new book Man with the Golden Shutter presents his personal journey through that world from the mid-1980s to early 1990s, from visiting US hip hop acts such as Run DMC, LL Cool J and Public Enemy, to developing British music scenes such as Jungle, Garage and Techno.

Ric Flo– A rap artist who uses music, creativity and his lived experience in foster care to empower young people.  He recently won the Inspiration in Music Award for his pilot project – Mantra Music CIC, the world’s first record label exclusively for care experienced artists.
