I am in my twenties and a graduate of the University of Wollongong, Australia, for a degree of my Bachelors of Communication and Media, and a major in Marketing. I am a indigenous Māori individual, who has a fondness for connecting with my spirituality and culture. I spend all of time listening to music or writing about it, with sides of dabbling in poetry, creating all forms of art, and annotating novels to be that mysterious emo person at the cafe.
I have grown up around a culture and history of music from the moment I was born, which has steadily stayed a core role of my identity. Along with this, a passion for work that engages with ethics and care such as mental health awareness. I was contracted by The University of Wollongong within their Safe and Respectful Communities department where I curated print media, posters, factsheets, and more under the title of Graphic Designer. I have opted to contribute to small businesses I’ve known in many different ways which include Social Media Management and Content Designer. As well as being a skilled Photography/Videography Assistant and Reporter for Neesh Photography.
I believe that human nature is to create, it is stored within our bones and bleeds through our pours. Life is built up on experience and art, and I have nothing but devotion to both of these things.
POSITIONING STATEMENT
With a rich heritage steeped in the history of music, I have inherited a passion for creative expression that transcends traditional boundaries. This passion extends beyond mere enjoyment to encompass a commitment to using art as a vehicle for positive change. My journey has led me to explore various avenues of creative expression, including music journalism, poetry, visual arts, and graphic design.
Drawing from my academic background and personal experiences, I have cultivated a unique skill set that enables me to navigate the intersection of creativity and marketing with finesse. Such as my ability to craft compelling visual narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.
Further, my personal and professional role as a Photography/Videography Assistant and Reporter has provided me with invaluable insights into storytelling through visual mediums. I possess a distinct affinity for visual aesthetics, evidenced by my adeptness in gig photography and the cultivation of a unique editing style within my skill repertoire. Over the years, I have honed my editing techniques through personal passion and dedicated practice, resulting in a refined and distinctive approach that enhances the visual impact of my work.
When it comes to my blog, I provided alternative music generated content deep in subcultural and interrelationship nuance, with a life-time of personal and historical experience within the area. Curating awareness, ties, and marketing of The Scene, Artists, and their work through targeted content of reviews, analysis, and discussions.
I, Taylorlani, create this content in order to provide space, and ongoing growth to a community I’ve grown up in, along with the desire to see it continue on in the future. As well as a strong tie to the work, I hope to grow my name, my networks, and career opportunities.
At my core is the personification of culture, life, and music deeply rooted in personal articulation and appreciation, translated in a professional work. In essence, I embody a dynamic fusion of creativity, cultural heritage, and social consciousness, positioning myself as a catalyst for positive change in these realms.
