Highlight Of The Decade

Yikes, a big ask culling ten years down to one highlight. Finishing my degree. Starting my career in the music industry (with The Music, mind you) and working my way through companies like Red Bull, triple j and now Warner Music. Finally seeing more diverse voices pop up on TV and music, with streaming services like Netflix leading the charge normalising this. Meeting, dating and getting engaged to my fiancé. Interviewing a heap of music legends like Billie Eilish, Jack Antonoff, HAIM, Bring Me The Horizon, Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy.

Prediction For Next Decade

More and more streaming services pop up and people end up pirating music/TV shows again because they can't be bothered paying for ten services - OR a platform is created that offers one subscription fee for multiple services. More and more younger artists start killing it on the global stage. Hopefully the Earth doesn't blow up/go up in flames/drown.
