Following my studies I took on some instrumental teaching, sound engineering and sound design roles alongside video editing and playing in bands, it was during these years that I navigated my way towards the work I do now.  A sense of community has always held a great deal of importance to me and helping others find that through sound and music, as well as creating a space where they can feel safe to be their authentic selves is something I feel passionately about.  Understanding that I am often working with vulnerable people I undertook the COSCA Certificate in Counselling Skills and more recently completed a certificate in Mental Health First Aid.  I take my responsibility to the people I work with seriously and I believe that all people should be treated with care and compassion.

 

Central to my work are the ideas of play and curiosity. So many of us have forgotten how to engage with these ideas – at some point ground down by social expectation or responsibility. I endeavour to remedy this by removing access barriers to joyful creative experiences where people feel safe to exist authentically, and by reframing music and art as something fundamentally human, deeply rooted in communication, expression and, crucially, freedom. 

​

As a neurodivergent, queer person, I feel passionate about celebrating difference and creativity in all it’s forms; music has been a constant spark of joy in my life and by helping people to access their creativity and sense of wonder I hope to offer them some of what music has given me.

 

The arts are messy, inspiring, weird and complex; there is nothing more human than that.
