RADIO
Broadcast experience
Radio work with Cape Talk, Talk702 and MFM built the habit of listening for the next useful question.
Media & interviews
Conversations about how good music gets made.
Sven brings years as a producer, session musician, radio host, journalist and teacher to long-form conversations about music, performance and creative work.
Editorial direction
Not promotion. Useful conversation.
The best music conversations happen when the interviewer understands the room. Sven’s media work is built around good questions, practical demonstrations and experience earned over time.

This direction grows naturally from work Sven has already done.
