Writer // Performer // Musician
Happy new year! Yes, I know that it is February already, but I’ve just started to book in my gigs for the year and am starting work on some new music. I’m very excited to have some time (after finishing my Master of Philosophy) to spend on music and songwriting again.
Hope to see you at a gig in SE Qld soon.
I’m currently working on a research project about mid-career musicians in Queensland. If you are currently a practicing musician – you can help me out by filling in a short survey (coming soon).
You are invited to participate in this project if you are a practicing professional musician, who has more than 15 years of experience, and are aged between 30-55 years.
If you do not fit into this category of musicians – I would appreciate your help in sharing this survey with people that you know who do fit the research project criteria.
Links to survey coming soon…
