I’m a musical multitool who arrived in Aotearoa at 15 and immediately started putting on all-ages gigs. I’ve since performed and toured internationally with bands across Aotearoa, Australia and Europe, including shows at The Powerstation and Meow Nui. When I’m not in the thick of a project, you’ll find me sailing the Hauraki Gulf, climbing up or snowboarding down a mountain.
