Supporting Top End songwriters: Phillip Eaton appointed as NT Writer Services Representative
Monday, 2 May 2011
As part of APRA|AMCOS’s commitment to working locally to support our songwriter and composer members, we welcome PHILLIP EATON as our new Writer Services Representative for the Northern Territory, based in Darwin.
"We are delighted to welcome such a well known and experienced person such as Phillip to our national team. Darwin is our youngest office yet is the most dynamic: our NT membership has grown significantly in the last few years under the stewardship of Rob Collins. Although we were saddened to see Rob leave earlier this year, we know that we have a wonderful replacement in Phillip,” said Milly Petriella, Director of Membership.
Phillip will provide local APRA|AMCOS members and music artists with information and support on issues of music, copyright and royalties, assist them with logging performances, exploring grants and other industry opportunities.
"I'm very excited to be part of APRA|AMCOS and hope to continue the great work that Rob Collins initiated in supporting NT songwriters. I look forward to meeting the many songwriters across the Northern Territory and through this role, raise awareness of APRA|AMCOS’s services,” said Phillip.
Phillip has been involved in the NT Music Industry over the last 15 years with skills as a musician – bass player and percussionist for WildWater, Drum Drum, Cinco Locos and countless multi-cultural music and performance collaborations. Phillip also delivers VET Cert I – IV in Music at Don Dale Juvenile Detention Centre as part of The Northern Territory School of Music and trains youth at Darwin Community Arts in new media skills and mentoring in audio engineering and production, web design and live performance. As a Project Officer at Music NT, Phillip co-ordinated the Music NT Rehearsal Space, Member Services, LEAD music mentoring Project and Hot Shots Photographic Competition.
