Face The Music: Melinda Krause

"I grew up in a small country town where the only cool thing to do was go see a band!"

Position: Event Manager

How did you first become involved in the music business? I actually came through FReeZA. I grew up in a small country town where the only cool thing to do was go see a band! Next the Big Day Out, now here!

What's your area of expertise and what experience do you have? I am an Event and Project Manager. Basically I run events and projects. I am a bit of a logistics aficionado and organise production. I am also known to be great on a spreadsheet!

What topics will you be mostly talking about at Face The Music? I am speaking on the Hens In The Cockhouse panel. We will look at a range of initiatives put in place for women in music, since last year's robust discussion on the topic.

What do you hope to personally take away from Face The Music? I know I will be inspired by our amazing female keynote presenters including JD Samson, Ruth Daniel, Mardi Caught, Jodie Regan and Susan Heymann! The are all inspiring in the work they have done!
