BIO
Originally from London, now based in Sydney.
​
A freelance writer, my work is primarily music related - with a personal preference for social or politically driven pieces. I regularly contribute to a handful of publications as well as running my own blogs.
​
I have six years experience in branding, content production and project management. Add on five years working in music supervision and licensing across those areas. I am familiar with delivering content for digital and print, and I am competent with Wordpress and social media.
​
I also have a guilty preference for 80's hair metal...
