A surveyor by profession.A storyteller by nature.

I've spent my professional life working in the world of property, land and value.

As a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (FRICS), I've seen how the built environment influences far more than the places we live and work. Property is connected to opportunity, wealth, inequality, communities and the decisions that shape our everyday lives.

But I've always believed there's more than one way to tell those stories.

That's why I created SurveyoRAP.

SurveyoRAP brings together my professional perspective, original lyric writing and a passion for using creativity to explore social issues through hip-hop.

I'm a digital artist, not a traditional recording performer. I write the lyrics, develop the concepts and shape the creative direction.

The technology helps bring the music to life. The stories, words and ideas are my own.

Because hip-hop has always been a powerful medium for storytelling, questioning authority and reflecting the realities of society.

And surveying offers an unusual lens through which to examine those realities.

These are questions about property, but they're also questions about people and power.

Different stories. Different perspectives. One underlying purpose: to challenge assumptions and encourage people to look beneath the surface.

SurveyoRAP is an independent creative project. It isn't about turning surveying into a novelty rap genre.

It's about using the language, experience and insight of surveying to tell stories that matter to everyone.

I'm bringing together two worlds that might not ordinarily meet — professional surveying and hip-hop — to create something thoughtful, engaging and a little unexpected.

And this is only the beginning.
