Introduction
My research focuses on intersections of music and sound with spiritual experience, popular (religious) culture, diaspora and locality. Key areas of interest include Nigerian gospel music, African Christianities, and epistemology and designation in ethnographic research. I have conducted multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in Brazil, Greece, Nigeria, the UK and the social media.
