Ollie Cornish

Available

I' am a young ambitious writer with a love of music (obviously). I played drums in a bunch of local bands but it became clear that I was never going to get the chance to 'Live The Dream' so I thought 'How else am I going to get free music, see great gigs and meet interesting (mostly mad) people?' I know, WRITE about it. So far I have worked for a broad cross section of online publications. I have also gained essential PR knowledge through my work with Montpellier PR. I really want to gain experience working in Record companies and Digital Media distribution.

I have also done freelance content work for web designers.

My ambition is to work in the music industry, whether it be PR or journalism, promoting bands and unearthing new music that people will love!
