In my work, I get to be an advocate for the importance of the arts in our society. It is important for individuals and their communities. It allows us to reimagine the world as it can be. From this perspective, I am able to highlight the importance of creative practice and how that passion and creativity develops. The arts ecosystem in the Waikato is vibrant and multi-faceted, and it is a joy to be part of it. 

Music and sound are fascinating to me. Through performance and composition and the ability to transport both performer and listener to different places. The ability to work within and across many different styles of music, and also the collaborative nature of the discipline – both within Music itself with other performers/composers/producers etc, but also with the ability to work on multi-disciplinary projects across the various arts disciplines and beyond.

I am a composer/producer/performer who continues to working professionally in the industry. This has included working in musical performance, installations, musical theatre, recording studios, film scores, music for television, etc. Also, my work has included collaborations with musicians, dancers, poets, aerial silks performers, theatre practitioners, scientists, perfumers, bakers, authors, sculptors, filmmakers, pyrotechnicians, lighting designers and visual artists, among others.
