LIVE REVIEWS

Following the completion of my internship at Tone Deaf in 2016, I quickly began to take on as many live reviews as I could, using it as an opportunity to not only witness as many amazing local and international artists on the live stage as possible, but to pen some words about their typically-amazing performances wherever I could.

Between January of 2017 and my exit from The Brag Media in April of 2022, I wrote and published 85 reviews for Tone Deaf, The Industry Observer, and Rolling Stone Australia. Below, you’ll find handy links to each of these reviews in chronological order.
