Let’s talk!

After years of soaking up insights at conferences, jotting down notes, and feeling the energy of it all, I knew this was my calling—to share knowledge and make a positive impact! As a speaker, my mission is simple: I want everyone to walk away feeling informed, happy, and armed with new knowledge they didn’t have before.

Whether you need a keynote speaker, guest lecturer, workshop presenter, moderator, or panelist, I’m here to share my insights and experiences. I’m even open to opportunities like TV/Radio interviews or DJ sets. If I feel someone else might better suit your event, I’ll gladly recommend them to ensure you have the best experience possible.

Check out where I’ve spoken before and let’s discuss how we can collaborate!

  • Keynote Speaker

    I've had the pleasure of being a Speaker, Mentor and Moderator with many of the music industry's largest conferences including SXSW, NAMM and Music Biz. Learn more about how I can create a fun, informative and valuable experience.

  • TV & Radio Interviews

    I'm no stranger to a camera or a microphone and love sharing insights and knowledge in front of a large audience.

    From being a guest on CNBC's Fortt Knox to a radio interview on Triple J across Australia, I've had a lot of experience and I'm always camera ready!

  • Book Discussion

    As a best selling author of three self-published books, I have a wealth of knowledge to share. Whether it is a book signing, or a discussion about the process of self-publishing, I love to help other authors.

  • Workshop

    My most popular and requested presentation. I've presented this to major and independent record labels privately and at numerous conferences.

    This is for artists and their teams wanting to make sure they are capturing every opportunity. Platforms covered include Amazon Music, Anghami, Apple Music, Boomplay, Deezer, JioSaavn, Pandora, Qobuz, Spotify, Twitch, YouTube and more.

  • Guest Lecture

    Guest speaker for the Summer Music Business Program at Berklee College of Music (Boston) and speaking with classes at Belmont University (Tennessee), UCLA (California) and University of Montana.

  • Panelist

    I’ve spoken on panels about building community, personal branding, music marketing and a diverse range of topics related to music. I love these opportunities to hear various opinions and encourage audience participation.

  • Moderator

    Experience includes moderating discussions and panels for Music Forward and Melbourne Games Week.

  • DJ Set

    I've been a DJ for over 20 years and have played in a variety of venues across Australia and the US. My DJ sets are a mix of fun, funky, familiar and friendly music that will keep the conversations flowing after the event has ended. Listen to music from my group @ DateNightMusic.com

    * DJ sets are solo and do not include other band members
