"Growing up in east London I never really had a voice. I was always the anomaly. The tournament chess player who lived in council housing, being told my neuro-diversity was a deviation from the norm. I fell in love with expression. This drove me to expand my thinking, to push the human voice to a new and powerful human potential. The voice can be a bridge to social, academic, technological and human innovation. I thought I was always experimenting with sound, but I've realised to push the voice is to push the mind. The voice is our most precious tool, as it grows, we grow"
