Creating digital experiences is rewarding work however my first passion as a school leaver was and still is music. After leaving high school I went on to study my first diploma in music. Since then I have been working as a practicing musician nearly the entire time alongside my daytime career. My instrument of choice is bass guitar. I love bass whether it be electric, acoustic, double. I play them, make them, customize them. I can’t actually stop thinking about them and have a Bass Players group on Facebook with over half a million members (potentially the biggest friendliest group of bassist on the internet). 

I have a passion for Taonga Pūoro which are our traditional Māori musical instruments that are native to us here in Aotearoa (aka New Zealand). I am an active member of the Haumanu Collective, which is a group focused on the revitalisation of these singing treasures.
