“I'm really looking forward to being part of a powerful and passionate network of changemakers, learning from others and building new connections to make the music industries a better place. I'm excited to have the time, space and structure to work out where I see myself going, having made the leap from working independently to being part of an organisation. I hope to find focus and direction, and learn new ways of doing the work.”
