I'm a 24-year-old journalist and musician based in London. I'm fundamentally interested in people and the stories they have to tell, leading with good-faith and an open mind.
It started at 21 with one of the last interviews with Noam Chomsky, a man I'd looked up to since my late teens. It generated over 100,000 views, and the gratification of making it awoke something I've been chasing ever since.
My second interview clinched it. Sitting down with Maverick Sabre at his album listening for Burn the Right Things Down, we talked about music as a way of moving in and out of yourself, the walls between genres and generations coming down, and how a room full of people listening together is its own kind of politics. It went so well I decided to keep going, interviewing Irish rappers, UK rappers and R&B singers as much as politicians. Music has been part of the practice ever since. I play and release my own under Kogan.
Three years on, I conduct long-form interviews with the likes of Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, Zack Polanski, Diane Abbott and Eddie Dempsey on the political side, and Brian Eno, Joy Crookes and Kojey Radical on the music side, with clips that have gathered millions of views. I write for Tribune, The Irish Times and Land & Climate Review. My first-person features for The Irish Times have ranked among the site's most read, with one piece named a Top Story of 2025.
In 2026 I won the Orwell Society & NUJ Young Journalist of the Year for a column on protest at Shannon Airport.
