I'm James Kerr, a musician, events manager, and content specialist who thrives at the intersection of creativity and organisation. Over the last decade I’ve produced music with globally recognised artists, built live events from the ground up, and grown communities both online and in person. I’m proficient with CapCut to edit short-form content for social media and digital campaigns. Beyond the creative, I’ve coached and led teams where planning, clear communication, and audience engagement are everyday essentials. I’m now shifting into events and advertising, bringing hands-on technical craft, project management, and people skills to agencies and event teams seeking fresh energy and practical execution. Born in England and based in Sydney, I’m excited to bring my drive to new challenges.
