I'm Zachary Ainsworth Oldham, a musician and digital music producer who loves turning creative flow into a practical workflow to help the music industry keep moving. I have worked as an artist liaison for Hacienda and Moovin Festival and have done on-the-ground roles from loading and unloading vans for Outlook Festival to core site crew at Kendal Calling, taking on diverse responsibilities across live events. I’m not shy about any role that comes my way, and I bring a hands-on, problem-solving approach to every project. Beyond music, I carry a Carpentry and Joinery Level 3 Diploma and practical experience across trades such as brickwork, cladding, roofing, groundwork, plumbing, painting and decorating. My cafe work sharpened my ability to perform under pressure, deliver excellent customer service, and uphold food health and safety standards, all while collaborating with teams to create welcoming spaces for audiences and performers.
