- HOW IT STARTEDMy journey into music hasn’t been linear. I grew up around music, learning guitar from my grandad, but initially saw my future in building work. That changed during school, where music reignited my focus and led me to study at Shrewsbury College, where I achieved a Distinction and was awarded for outstanding contribution. While playing in bands, I began organising gigs and managing social media, developing an interest in the industry side. Volunteering at Loopfest was a turning point, leading to a core team role. I was also awarded a music prize at secondary school, reinforcing my path into Music Industry Management at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. ______________________________
