Entertainment

I have always been a lover of music, movies, books and theatre.

My very first job was at a Blockbuster video store (renting out VHS!) followed by Sanity Music. Once I hit 18, I worked in many music venues with a love of live music (and collecting signed posters, CDs and assorted band merch) fuelling my industry knowledge and artistic flair.

When it came to journalism gigs, my first was with local street rags and focused on the entertainment industry. I continue to write about all things entertainment news today.

If you’re keen to get the media spotlight on an event, production, artist or band get in contact. I’d love to be a part of your project.

Client Liaison are about to decommission Canberra

A Melbourne based duo, supporting the idea of decommissioning Canberra, a self-appointed Order of Australia member, a family worth millions, a privileged upbringing, and the last time they were here, they ended up yelling at their audience, “why do you even live here?!
