My love of media began in childhood. Music, television, film, theatre and books have been lifelong passions that have shaped not only who I am, but also the career I’ve built over the past fifteen years.

From recording my favourite songs off the radio and eagerly following the weekly music charts to collecting CDs and attending live concerts, music has always been a constant source of inspiration and connection. Growing up, I was also fortunate to experience the television industry firsthand. With my father working at Television New Zealand, regular visits to television studios sparked a fascination with broadcasting, storytelling and the magic of television production that has stayed with me ever since.

That passion eventually became a career when I joined Melbourne’s LGBTIQA+ community radio station JOY 94.9 in 2010. Starting on the station’s front desk, I quickly immersed myself in every aspect of radio before moving into presenting, producing and entertainment journalism. One of my earliest memories was welcoming an unsigned singer-songwriter named Matt Corby into the station—years before he would become one of Australia’s most acclaimed musicians.

Over the following eight years, I wore many hats at JOY while developing my skills as a broadcaster, producer and interviewer. I co-hosted the long-running music industry program Sound Museum alongside the weekly Friday Morning Show, interviewing some of Australia’s biggest entertainers, including Kylie Minogue, Dannii Minogue, Delta Goodrem, The Veronicas, Anthony Callea, Human Nature, Jessica Mauboy and Samantha Jade.

My international interviews have featured globally recognised artists including Alicia Keys, Adam Lambert, Ne-Yo, Little Mix, Fifth Harmony and many more. Every interview has reinforced what I love most about entertainment media—sharing the stories behind the artists and celebrating the music that connects people around the world.

Since 2012, I’ve also worked extensively as an entertainment reporter, covering red carpets and major industry events including the ARIA Awards, the Logie Awards and numerous premieres, theatre productions and music launches. These experiences have allowed me to interview artists, actors, performers and industry leaders while capturing the excitement of Australia’s entertainment scene.

In 2015, I was appointed JOY’s Interview Coordinator, managing entertainment interviews across the entire station and working closely with publicists, record labels and production companies. I later became Assistant Music Director, helping curate JOY’s music programming, discover emerging artists and shape specialist music content while continuing my lifelong passion for championing great music.

After leaving JOY in 2018, I set out to build my own independent media brand—one that combined my passions for music, television, film, nostalgia and storytelling.

In 2023, I launched the Sound Museum podcast, celebrating the artists, albums and songs that have defined generations of music lovers. The podcast quickly found a worldwide audience, growing to more than 100 episodes with listeners in over 180 countries. While Sound Museum entered a hiatus in May 2026 as I shifted my focus to other creative ventures, it remains one of my proudest achievements and continues to introduce listeners to incredible music history.

The Sound Museum brand expanded to YouTube in 2024, where it has grown into one of Australia’s leading nostalgia-focused music channels. Featuring rare television performances, interviews, music news and throwback entertainment content, the channel has now surpassed 2.4 million views and more than 7,500 subscribers, with its audience continuing to grow around the world.

In 2025, I launched my second YouTube channel, Leo’s Throwbacks, Travel & Vlogs, combining classic television and film nostalgia with travel adventures, behind-the-scenes experiences and lifestyle content. The channel has already attracted more than 360,000 views and continues to expand its audience.

Later that year, I turned another lifelong passion into a business by launching MuzacMedia, my online eBay store. Specialising in music and entertainment collectables—including CDs, vinyl records, DVDs, VHS tapes, books and memorabilia—the store reflects my love of preserving physical media in the digital age. Within just six months, I achieved Top Rated Seller status, a milestone that reflects my commitment to exceptional customer service and carefully curated products.

Today, my work spans podcasting, YouTube, digital content creation, entertainment journalism and e-commerce. Whether I’m interviewing an artist, restoring classic television footage, producing a podcast episode or helping collectors find that long-lost album or film, my goal has always been the same: to celebrate the stories, music and moments that bring people together.

Looking back over my career, one thing has become clear. While the media industry may appear glamorous from the outside, lasting success comes from dedication, curiosity and a genuine passion for what you do. I’m incredibly grateful that I’ve been able to turn the interests I discovered as a child into a career that continues to evolve every day—and I’m excited to see where the journey leads next.
