I'M STEVEN HOOKE
Welcome to my cosy little corner of the internet. This website will act as a directory for all the various projects I attempt in my battle against a stable income and a healthy work schedule.
BUT WHO IS STEVEN?
I was born In Exeter, England many moons ago, but quickly left the South West in pursuit of adventure/mum would get really bored and move house instead of rearrange furniture.
​
Over the next 26 years, I have pursued various different prospects in my pursuit of unstable income and lack of serious responsibility.
​
The fancy bit of paper hanging on my wall declares me as a video game developer. Studying for 3 years with the end goal of one day working in the games industry, I have taken part in the number of Games Jams, flooding my weekends with unmentionable snacks, energy drinks and pizza, mixing it all together to produce a fresh new gaming experience.
​
In 2016, following a brief stint on local radio, I began podcasting. I initially launched the Angstcast, a guest-driven show with friends that is currently releasing it's lost season 2. In 2018, I combined podcasting with my passion for alternative music and launched the Desolation Sounds Podcast that focuses on rock, punk metal and extreme metal.
​
At the end of 2016, I was accepted by UK entertainment website WhatCulture to be a contribution writer. I have so far covered music, pro wrestling and video games, averaging 35,000-40,000 views per article.
​
In 2020 during the glorious lockdown times, I began creating and editing videos to go alongside this articles, eventually being asked by a local motorsport team to do a hype video for their team and products. As it turns out, video editing is pretty rad and have continued to do personal and freelance projects.
