Biography writer
Professional biographies and artist statements for musicians, visual artists, performers and creative professionals.
Writing about yourself is hard - I know because I’ve been there.
If you’d like help turning your story into a clear, authentic bio or artist statement, I can help. I’ll work with you to understand your voice, your story, and your goals, and then write a bio that is ready to use on your website, in applications, or in press materials.
I’m a writer and editor, and also a professional musician with 15 years of writing experience across creative and professional contexts.
Your bio or artist statement is your chance to share your work, your achievements, and the person behind them.
Let me write your bio for you:

AI and automation use
All writing is crafted by me, and informed by our conversations and my own research. I may use tools to help organise information, but the final text is always written, shaped and refined by hand.
Additional copywriting services
You may be refreshing your bio to prepare to launch a new project. I can also write press releases, event and program notes, website copy, marketing emails, and any other text you may need. I would be happy to discuss a package service for your upcoming project.
