I live in two creative worlds: music and digital. Splitting my time between stages and strategy. By night (and often by day), I’m a professional musician. Performing, touring, teaching, releasing music, and connecting with people on stages and in rooms all over the world. Music taught me how to communicate, tell a story, read a room, and make things feel human. Somewhere along the way, that turned into copywriting, social media, marketing, and sponsorship work. I’ve worked on campaigns, run ads, created content, managed partnerships, and helped deliver large-scale events across Australia... always with a people-first and community-driven approach. I’m creative but organised, laid back but dependable. I like good ideas, clear communication, and work that actually means something. If it sits somewhere between creativity, community, and strategy, I’m all about it. Always keen on interesting projects, good people, and opportunities that don’t take themselves too seriously.
