I have loved fan spaces online for years, beginning purely as a fan who enjoyed using these spaces to meet new people. I realised how incredible these spaces are, and started moderating them voluntarily for some artists I love. This introduced me to the world of audience development and gave me knowledge of the running and programming behind these servers, allowing me to take on admin roles and successfully run and manage a server.
DISCORD SERVER ADMIN FOR:
CMAT BABIES (CMAT) - AWAL (4,000+ members)
DISCORD SERVER MODERATION FOR:
THE PARLOUR (THE LAST DINNER PARTY) - ISLAND RECORDS (8,000+ members)
What this has given me:
A valuable hands-on insight into audience development
The ability to communicate reliably with artists and labels
Experience running competitions, giveaways, presales, listening parties, and assisting with creative campaign audience strategy
Knowledge in bot programming and running a successful server
FROM THE PYRE US TOUR DIARY SERIES:
Throughout the spring 2026 North America Tour, fans on 'The Parlour' have been encouraged to record clips of their day, which I then edit into short form videos to be posted on The Parlour YouTube account.
A personal highlight as part of the Moderation team is coordinating fundraisers. After the end of The Last Dinner Party's 2024 tours, I was able to run communications with Bankuet charity to continue the band's fundraiser as part of the server's festive event throughout December. Raising a further £715 alongside the money raised across the Prelude To Ecstacy UK&Ireland tour.
