I am a 27-year-old jazz musician, researcher, public servant, and lawyer from Canberra. I have played music across Australia and the world, and my research is published and award-winning.

I live with Cerebral Palsy and am motivated by disability excellence and creating inclusive communities. My prior experiences as an elite para-athlete, training alongside former and current Paralympians, taught me the value of disabled spaces towards reaching shared and individual achievement

As a person with lifelong physical disability and lived experience in remote First Nations communities, Jeremy is passionate about exploring music as a vehicle for change, participation, and inclusion - particularly for marginalised communities.

Throughout my life I've been musical, and I've been involved in hip-hop, metal, rock, musical theatre, classical, and worship projects. While I pride myself on my versatility, jazz - or Black American Music - is my main musical language and where I aim to leave my mark.
