Jai Forster-Saunders

Preston,VIC

Summary

I’ve been playing guitar for over 15 years and drums for several, and I’m passionate about sharing the joy of music with others. My degree in sound production has equipped me with a strong understanding of recording equipment, while my hands-on experience has deepened my knowledge of guitar pedals and amplifiers. I’m now applying these skills as I work on opening a purpose-built recording and rehearsal studio in Fairfield.


I also bring over 10 years of customer service experience, from guiding clients through high-pressure moves as a removalist to delivering excellent service in retail at Target and SHQ (Wind Sports Store). I thrive in roles that push me to grow and keep me excited to come to work every day. Joining Living Music would allow me to combine my technical expertise and customer service skills to help others achieve their musical ambitions.
