About my position
As Music Officer, it is my role to organise music-related events like open-mic nights, gigs and songwriting workshops as well as to support student musicians through providing equipment, funding and publicity on social media. I also work with music-based societies and committees to put on events such as Battle of the Bands.
How my position affects you
My position has a huge influence over student life because it ensures that St Andrews has a vibrant and entertaining music scene. The main purpose of the Music Officer is to provide a platform for a diverse range of musicians to entertain and inspire. The Music Officer plays a part in creating a sense of place and identity by promoting all the great local bands. Working with the On the Rocks committee, last year's Music Officer helped to organise a festival which celebrated St Andrews' impressive creative output.
About me
I was born and grew up near Inverness, before heading down to St Andrews to read History and Russian. I am hugely passionate about music, and in my spare time I like to play guitar and write music. In my first year, I enjoyed performing and getting involved in the music scene so much that I decided to apply to become Music Officer. My favourite artists include Cat Stevens, R.E.M, Suede, and Pulp.
Groups I lead
As Music Officer, I lead the Music Fund subcommittee, formerly known as Music is Love.
