As a student who has been living and breathing music for the past three years, I am now excited to use the skills and passion I've gained to kickstart my career. My experiences so far have already taught me so much and I am incredibly grateful and eager to continue to learn and grow within this field. I am hardworking and driven, taking pride in my work. My love for music and its ability to teach people not only about the craft but also about themselves has always spurred me to do all I can to make sure I give my all to this unique industry.

I began working with my university during my second year of study. The job began with me liaising with performers and stage managing university run gigs and events as well as running meet-ups and events for the student body, focusing on data collection and student engagement. This eventually led to me being given a contracted job, which I am still currently working.

BA (Hons) SongwritingBIMM (Manchester)
Manchester, United Kingdom
Music has always been my biggest passion and I consider myself to be an avid music practitioner and listener. Though I am primarily a guitarist I also love playing bass and drums and love listening to all different types of music. I feel this has only been heightened and encouraged by my time at BIMM as it means I now have hands on experience in the industry and understand how to communicate and liaise with musicians of different standards.
