A BUSY FIRST MONTH OF 2026

And just like that, it’s February! January was… hectic. Here’s what I got up to in the first month of 2026:

🧷Coming together with my brand new content team and diving straight into the who, why and how of storytelling at Adelaide University

🧷Developing an album release strategy at high speed, which includes releasing my first three songs on February 11!

🧷Locking in a venue and date for my album launch, to be presented in collaboration with local heroes Runt! Records

🧷Starting a five-person band! And happily muddling through our first ever rehearsal

🧷Hashing out a strategic promotion plan with my guardian angels at Beehive PR

🧷Preparing assets and artwork for a vinyl run through Suitcase Records, a family-run pressing plant with a sustainability focus

🧷Working out how to navigate music distribution platforms, notably while most of the staff were on holidays…

🧷Getting to grips with the concept and process of PLAYLIST PITCHING

🧷Trying to understand and properly execute song crediting, including on APRA AMCOS, streaming platforms and in my own acknowledgements

🧷Filming, editing and uploading multiple music videos

🧷Finalising feedback on the book I’ve written to accompany my album (Anomie and the Infinite Abyss: Tools and balms for navigating existence)

🧷Putting the finishing touches on a website to house album information

🧷Experimenting on socials, including getting advance song previews on TikTok!

I also escorted 20+ thrillseekers on The Great Mulberry Adventure, attended multiple sweaty gigs, celebrated the birthdays of the (honestly way too many) Capricorns and Aquariuses in my life, and watched a giant eucalyptus branch fall through my roof directly over my bed. It’s been a big one.

In February I’m excited to be in the same space as my wider marketing team – and  finally release some music!
