Bio:
I’m a freelance writer specialising in the intersection of popular religion and popular culture. I’ve written on music, sainthood, fame and popular icons, cults, pilgrimage and fandom, and a variety of other topics for publications including the Guardian, The New European, History Today and The Quietus, as well as speaking and writing in academic contexts.
My PhD research looked at the cult of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux – ‘the greatest saint of modern times’ – and its commercial promotion by her remarkable sister, Céline.

► The matrix originated as an extension of a record shop opened to divulge the little known music of the people of the Recôncavo and sertão of Bahia, Brazil (per this interview with David Dye for U.S. National Public Radio), along with other great Brazilian music.
