About me
I am a highly driven and creative person with a strong passion for music who was always first to volunteer for extra work or to lend a hand in work environments. In school I was one of the first in Scotland to take music technology to advanced higher level, I also took two college courses - in music business and a foundation apprenticeship in Creative and Digital Media - at the same time as finishing high school and then went on to complete a two-year intensive course to get a Bachelors in Music Business during the Covid-19 Pandemic up to 2022.
I have been working in the music industries for 5 years where I first started as a live sound engineer and producer - I then moved to Glasgow to attend University and through this course I have worked with many Scottish acts such as Cherry Bleach, Megan Black, The Sun Day, AskAlice and Pretty Creatures as well as expanding my brand to other parts of the UK working closely with musicians in England and to outside of the UK working with Canadian artist - Apricity . I worked with these artists mainly as their publicist but I have also extended into management where I signed my first band -Pretty Creatures. I have also worked in live events organisation and promotion from multiple aspects including sound engineering and backstage hand to event organiser and artist liaison.
I have built many connections in the music industry through my own work and working as an intern for publicity company Electric Shores who work for major companies, brands, venues and artists such as Soma Records, TRNSMT Festival, Bemz, SWG3 and many many more.
I also collaborate with a London based PR agency - Carnival Of Oddities as their head of PR in Scotland which has been beneficial for both our companies as it has allowed for a UK wide reach of press and media
I have experience using marketing in many forms including Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, Google and more traditional forms such as posters and print etc. I have experience working through press releases and marketing campaigns both creating and implementing them as well as experience working with artists through every step of their work from the moment they write a song to creating all the content to go along with the songs release to the press and marketing.
