THAT’S EDUTAINMENT
A few years’ later, I began busking in Surfers Paradise, placing 3rd in the Australian Street Entertainment Championship. From there, my guitar and I went on to play weddings, restaurants, cafes, and events. I also started getting into TV work; working on set for commercials including Warner Bros. Movie World, Heritage Bank, QLD Health and Amart Furniture (we’ll circle back to this one later).
At 17, fresh out of school I began my Business Management Degree. I planned to complete a dual major in Advertising & Marketing at the University of Queensland, hoping my creative flair could bring something exciting to the advertising world. On the commute from the Gold Coast to Brisbane, I would write lyrics and doodle in my notebook.
My second year of uni saw me venture into Brisbane, the city I thought I would never fit in. I missed the beaches, the salt and the sand, but I traded them for the Big City and a nightlife you can’t miss.
