Graham K. Smith
In the early '80s, Graham K. Smith wrote for I-D., Sounds, NME, New Sounds New Styles and Record Mirror. Though he briefly returned to music journalism in 1985 as the Style Editor of short-lived mag The Hit, he had already "soul my soul to telly" by this point. Telly is where Graham has worked ever since. He has been an Executive Producer for the BBC and a Commissioning Executive for Channel 4 and Channel Five. He now runs the consultancy firm Grand Scheme TV.
