Percussionist, Composer, Producer, Teacher
For the past 8 days, I've been at a special music camp run by the QLD government for music students. It's my second time there and I'm having an absolute blast!
Last night was our first concert for the parents and I got to sing a great song you'll easily recognise with the MOST Big Band - Hello, Hello by the Cat Empire.
Check it!

Last Friday, Mac-Cussion flew to Melbourne for the next round of Australia's Got Talent. We were so excited!
Our school principal decided to surprise us and when we were about to go on stage, we saw that our parents were in the audience! She had secretly flown one parent from each family to see us play and support us. My mum even brought little packets of lollies for all of us with little cards that said "Mac-Cussion Rulz".
It was a very different experience to the auditions. Being on
Mayfest is an annual school festival at my old primary school and every year, my high school bands and choirs get to perform there. This year, I got to sing George Michael's song Freedom with the Macgregor State High School Show Choir.
Later that day, we sang other songs and I performed with two of my friends and then on my own. I'll post those videos later, so stay tuned.
Anyway, here's Freedom. It's a really cool song. Enjoy.

This is a moment I've been waiting for a long time. Macgregor Percussion Ensemble's performance on the popular TV show Australia's Got Talent.
A few months ago, we got the exciting news we were going to audition for the show. After that came early mornings and long hours of practicing our piece, called Stinking Garbage, over and over and over and over again. My legs hurt from crouching and popping up so many times.
Then came the shooting day, which started early in the morning and ended in
The Macgregor High Percussion Ensemble, recently renamed MacCussion, was interviewed and recorded performing on ABC radio.
