I’m at a senior level within my field - my goal is to keep learning and keep building connections to the local creative community

"It was recommended to me by a trusted friend - I don’t know much about it tbh, but especially since more of my relationships and my work are in Abu Dhabi than Dubai, building more connections is useful. I’ve been involved in the arts for many decades and have been committed ti building the UAE ecosystem and to mentoring artists here both formally thru my work and informally"

"I am a curator of music of all kinds - international popular and roots music, jazz, rock, hip-hop, electronic - as well as dance, theater and spoken word. I spend most of my free time with the same, as well as visual art/museums. I’ve djed and grew up playing trumpet but haven’t done much of either in the last few years. And yes I play padel too."
