Since 2018, I’ve been building experience at the intersection of Events, Music, Arts, Community, Culture, and Marketing. My work spans event execution, artist relations, community building, brand promotions, audience engagement, content, partnerships, and creative projects — working across both the creative and operational sides of the ecosystem. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with artists, organisers, promoters, venues, communities, and brands, developing a strong understanding of how people, culture, and experiences come together. Alongside my professional career, I’ve built my own journey in electronic music as a DJ, producer, and independent label founder, giving me firsthand insight into artist ecosystems, music marketing, programming, and community-driven culture. Community | Events | Music | Arts | Culture | Marketing | Artist Relations | Branding | Partnerships I’m particularly interested in opportunities where people, culture, creativity, and experiences intersect.
