About me: I'm a former producer and presenter of an Australian "emerging" music show, base.tv.
I used to contribute to a monthly segment on the UK's largest commercial radio station, talkSPORT. The Mike Mendoza show featured some of Australia's leading emerging artists.
I was born and grew up in East London, UK and came to Australia in 2003 looking for adventure.
Since then I have seen 1000's of Aussie bands and developed a healthy obsession, with sharing my knowledge of the Aussie scene with anyone in the UK.
Who I'd like to meet: Any Australian original band or music producer doing something new and exciting!

It's going to be our biggest show yet. We're playing new songs for the first time. There will be Quills merch for the first time. It will generally be a show the likes of which we've never played before.
