I am a freelance music journalist with a passion for bands and artists loosely fitting into the alternative rock and emo niche. Throughout a seven year career, I have covered festivals and events across three different continents. Highlights of my career have included covering Sixthman music cruises for Rock Sound magazine, writing for the Ticketmaster UK blog, and interviewing major artists for an independent online publication at Download Festival.
Talents include telling a compelling story through features, reviews, blogs and interviews.
The Faim are one of those bands that have absolutely exploded onto the scene in a short space of time, but it's not too late to say that you were there from the beginning.

For those who don't know, Parahoy! presents the opportunity to see Paramore - and a whole host of other bands - on board a real live cruise ship. Rock Sound was lucky enough to return for the second voyage and boy, was it worth it! We learned a lot. Namely that...
Vans Warped Tour. On a boat. Yep, things got crazy. And we were there. They say Warped Tour is essentially a punk rock summer camp, but now they've taken things even further.
When it comes to all things alternative in the UK, there's really nothing bigger or better than Download Festival. It's got it all - the Gods of Rock, up-and-coming bands, and everything from the WWE NXT to sideshows in between. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a heavy music fan, this is the...
Like a phoenix from the lockout ashes, Sydney's emo scene is rising again. It's no secret that the 2014 legislation curtailing the city's nightlife had devastating effects on the city's night-time economy, but all is not lost. It's Saturday night on July 28, 2018.
