Summary

As an independent artist working professionally as a singer, songwriter, and musician, I oversee every aspect of my creative output and career management. In addition to refining my skills as a lyricist, pianist, and guitarist, my responsibilities span managing production schedules, crafting cohesive visual identities through press imagery, music videos, and artwork, as well as managing my social media presence and producing short-form content.

I have personally selected and collaborated with producers Tim Harvey (Aldous Harding, Bill Callahan, Jade Imagine, Gena Rose Bruce) and Burke Reid (Julia Jacklin, Courtney Barnett, Sarah Blasko, Girl & Girl [SUB POP]), working closely with them to shape and elevate each release.

As my own manager, I have successfully secured mentorship from acclaimed ARIA-nominated artists OLYMPIA and Jack River. Additionally, I have signed with GAGA Music for publishing, PIAS for record releases, and Mushroom Booking Agency for live bookings, further solidifying my presence within the industry.

Recently, I opened for Melbourne/Naarm based band Floodlights across Europe.
