A fashion entrepreneur and keen music enthusiast, I succumbed to the allure of Byron Bay’s laidback lifestyle and relocated to this picturesque coastal region from Melbourne in 2014 for love. My other half, a surfer who has lived in the Rainbow Region since 1990 was an active part of the vibrant music scene for many years.
