Summary
I am passionate about the arts and everything music related. I am looking to take my many years of diverse experience and apply it to a new role in production, events and event management. I have been involved in multiple aspects of the music industry since the age of 10 Including, performance, song writing, live sound engineering, studio engineering, mentoring, tutoring, score writing for short film and advertising plus much more. I am excited for a change of direction after owning and operating a successful music school on the Kapiti Coast for the last 12 years.
