Skills
I'm offering
I am an enthusiastic and highly experienced events manager with a wide range of skills over the years I've been working in the industry. I have been running a live music venue within the Ritzy Cinema (Brixton) for over 11 years (as events/venue manager and sole programmer) as well as event managing all corporate hires, film premieres, special events and weddings within the cinema itself. I have also done a lot of freelance events and artist liaison work as well as social media marketing and (more recently) online events.
I have always written and/or edited all copy for all marketing materials, social media and our website, as well as any press releases. This is something I really enjoy and am good at, so would love to do more of this freelance as well.

Professional DJ & Artist Booker
DJ Blondezilla.
I have played at several venues across London as well as UK festivals. I have a weekly residency at The Understudy (National Theatre) at which I both play regularly and book a rotation of DJs within my network.
It may be important to note (if you look me up!) I have kept social media marketing to a low as I have more than enough gigs through word of mouth and do it more for the love than for the money or fame... ;)
