Creative Director
I compose, produce, perform, distribute and licence music.
My work life is not a typical one in that I work for myself, a freelancer, but ultimately this suits my line of work. The main advantage is being free to devote time to all my interests, those that pay the bills and those that might someday. While some are spent entirely devoted to the creative process and the equally important administrative process other days are spent traveling from studio to studio where I record jingles, movie soundtracks, voice overs, cartoons...you name it, I've done it!
Here's the first step for high school students
The creative field is very much defined by the person, not so much what they've studied as how they can implement it in their day-to-day. I studied psychology as a degree and business studies as a graduate diploma and these have served me well in the administrative and organizational side of my work. The creative side is purely subjective in that each person will develop their approach. A belief in what you do is all-important in bringing it into the real world. Always follow your heart.
