I started getting really into playing guitar at 12 years old when my grandad gave me his old acoustic. I used to obsess over playing along to my favourite tunes, digesting any tabs I could get my hands on, and learning about different genres to refine my pallet. Music has always been something I wanted to do and after a few years of playing I started my first band. Like most High School bands, it didn’t last long, but the experience definitely got me longing for another opportunity to join another band.

That opportunity came in June 2017 where I joined my friends band “Diswaed” playing bass. Being a member of Diswaed really shaped my mindset and work ethic to where it is today. If we weren’t playing shows, writing songs or practicing. We were contacting venues, PR companies and keeping on top of our social media to be as engaging as possible.

When it was time to track our first EP, we were met with the same harsh reality that a lot of early bands face when they first enter a studio. We weren’t fully prepared, a little under practiced and had unrealistic expectations of how it would turn out given our budget and timeframe. That being said, the experience encouraged me to delve deeper into the world of recording and in the spring of 2018 with a handful of microphones, a Focusrite Clarett 8-Pre and a DAW, we set out to record our second EP in my parents dining room, thinking we could do a better job.

The EP came out and we broke up a few months later, but I became determined to dive further into the world of audio production. I worked tirelessly for a year and a half trying to get better and in May 2019 after all that hard work I was fortunate enough to intern at Chamber Studios for a week. The insight that I learnt that week working as an assistant was immeasurable and it really solidified my goal of pursuing a career in audio full time.

In September 2019 I joined Riverside Music College and have been continually working towards my goal ever since.
