From 2017 to date I've guest researched, presented, recorded, edited and produced over 650+ episodes of my own Podcast, aptly named The Killa Kela Podcast.

This lead me to working alongside The Crown Estate and becoming a Creative Director to one of their main Piccadilly Circus Eros buildings in the heart of London's West End.

Event collaborators include; Bafta, Walkers Crisps, The Evening Standard, Microsoft, The Olympic British Breakdance team and Banksy's artist agency, Pest Control.
