My two big loves are music and film.
I've been a music lover since I was a really small kid, and over the years my music tastes have grown so much that I now listen to a huge variety of stuff - from metal to opera, world music to '40's jazz, stage shows to trip hop, pop to reggae, Hindi pop to Iraqi remix crossover. The only stuff I don't listen to at all is rap, R&B techno stuff (house, etc) and hiphop. Some of my most favourite artists are Peter Gabriel, Iron Maiden, Haydn (the composer), Morcheeba, Massive Attack, White Zombie, U2, Soul Coughing, Abba, Beethoven and David Bowie. Pretty eclectic tastes, as you can see

I'm also a musician, my main instrument being bass. I used to play in loads of bands when I was younger and in college, but sadly these days I don't have the time... Hopefully again one day

As for film, well I am always relaxing by watching movies. I go to the cinema very regularly, and also rent loads of DVDs and videos. I'm a huge fan of cheesy horror films, in particular

My favourite films of all time include the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Evil Dead Trilogy, Star Wars (especially The Empire Strikes Back), Excalibur, all the Monty Python films (especially The Life Of Brian), The Neverending Story, Spaceballs, The Rocky Horror Picture Show... the list goes on

Apart from that, being a huge socialite as well I really enjoy going out and hanging out with people. I socialise a LOT actually

Oh yeah and I also love travel documentaries! If I hadn't gone into visual effects, I would have loved to have been a travel show host
