About me
I am currently studying Music Promotion in my Third Year at Southampton Solent. This course has given me lots of hands on and theory based knowledge of the Music Industry, from Live Events to Record Deals. My passion in life is music, through watching a band live or listening to them on headphones. Currently spending lots of money buying Vinyl, but when i am not listening to music I enjoy reading books or watching the latest Wes Anderson movie.
