About Me

A nomadic traveling psychedelic ninja, on a journey to create (and teach how to) spaces for high end audiovisual experiences!
I am in love with developing events for musical and visual exploration.

Heading off to Chile end of July, so have been couch surfing with friends along the coast. Decided to get used to the Couchsurfing App and new people before trying it in another country.

Easy going, exceptional at entertaining myself (and others if necessary). Low maintenance, very much independent. Cleanly, very particular about cleaning up after myself/as I go. A touch OCD which helps with the order and structure I like to have as a core to my free winded travels!

Passion for music; listening, dancing to, playing and producing.
I have been playing music for the last 16 years, DJing being for the last 10.

Freelance Trades:
Camera/Structural Rigger in the Film Industry.
Event coordinator, Event Rigging specialist, Site Manager, Fire Safety Marshall, Water Management.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people along my journey, hopefully poach a couple future ninjas along the way. I’d like to experience as much about the environments I travel through, so as to understand how much is possible for the audiovisual ninjas I may train and leave behind!

Interests

Full time adrenaline junkie, if it makes the heart race I'll do it! Skate, Surf, Trail Run, Climb, Kite, Rig, Dance and Enjoy!

I also make psychedelic fractal based art work.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all genres of music, but am particular about quality! As a musician I have made or played every kind of music in every kind of situation.

Definitely enjoy a good movie, but not a must for me. Although I am always up for interesting documentaries or future thought films.

I am quite the reader, since I am a bit of an information hoarder, I read as much as possible about anything I am currently interested in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rigging and running events of 5000+ people

Teach, Learn, Share

As I said I’m an information hoarder, and I love learning new things, sharing information I have and researching new info or concepts!

I am driven to teaching people with a passion for the audiovisual world, how to facilitate and create comfortable, interactive, mind opening spaces for evolutionary sonic experiences. These are the audiovisual ninjas. This is my mission!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music and loads of it!
Information.
Mechanical/Handyman skills.
Digital art entertainment; I have a large collection of visual banks, I create simple visual spaces using the available devices, turning each screen into a artwork (some moving, some not).
I’m also a pretty good cook, and thoroughly enjoy cooking for others.
