I’m 28, I’ve put on raves in warehouses, got MA in English, managed a nightclub, been Music Editor of The Face, made some records, toured the world as a DJ and worked at a few decent ad agencies.

I share a studio with Australia’s top DJs The Bang Gang and consult for festivals, record labels and style brands. I love playing with words and ideas, finding ways to talk to people by telling the truth, not treating them like idiots and giving something in return for their attention, whether that’s a smile, an interesting piece of content or an enjoyable experience.

I enjoy working across all media (especially digital) and my background in music, journalism and events means that I approach problems from a unique perspective.
