2016 year in review
2016 was a very weird year for everyone involved. Hey there, Brexit/Trump/Bowie/Snape/Malcolm Turnbull! On a more personal level, I had some shit things happen to me too (i.e. having my flu misdiagnosed as meningococcal and getting sent to the ER) but otherwise, some pretty sweet things happened to, including:
Celebrating an entire decade of calling the world’s most liveable city home.
Running a BIGSOUND Conference workshop with Alex for Bolster that ended up being the most popular workshop at the whole conference by far.
Getting to play five shows at Canadian Music Week with Darts, and successfully navigating LAX with 22kg of music gear.
Back on home soil, getting the chance to play some amazing Darts gigs this year, including opening for Tiny Little Houses, Bully, Bleached and Polish Club, plus playing Volumes Fests in Syd.
Finding a FREE HAT.
Figuring out what I sound awful why I try to sing. (It’s to do with my breathing, apparently.)
Heading over to Singapore in November and eating all the foods.
Successfully doing a webinar on digital advertising.
Speaking at the 8 Percent conference panel around the place of record labels in the current music climate.
Watching The Cure play Splendour In The Grass.
Completing a 100-day healthy challenge where I had to eat cleanly for 100 days. I accidentally found out that not eating processed food for over 3 months cures adult acne. The more you know.
Getting the chance to work with some absolutely phenomenal clients at Bolster, including Iggy Pop, Adele, Flume and more.
Finishing an online course in best practices for copywriting for web and learning some new things too.
Travelling more than I ever have in my entire life, with a record of 22 flights over 12 months. No flights booked for 2017 though and that makes me so happy.
Learning that I will never be satisfied with whatever headphones I own. (Currently on the Aiaiai TMA-2 Studio Presets which are okay, but HMU if you know something better.)
Happy New Year, guys!
