Afua Adom

Stylist, writer, editor and Producer

Afua moved to London from Glasgow at aged 17 to study journalism at City University. After specialising in broadcast and music, Afua found herself working at T4 and PopWorld before moving on to the dizzy heights of 60 Minute Makeover on ITV. She grew bored of decorating strangers' homes in an hour or under and made the leap to music publishing where she worked for Blue Mountain Music under the watchful and legendary eye of Chris Blackwell.

After styling a few bands for the label, she realised this was her passion and left music to freelance as a stylist and writer. She styled for ‪Rhian Benson‬‬, Terri Walker and The Def Jam Comedy Tour as well as many 'normal' clients before landing a job at Blackhair as Editorial Assistant.
