Tobias Handke

Tobias is a writer and journalist with over 15 years of experience working for a wide range of print and online publications. Originally from Adelaide before making the jump to Melbourne, he is now travelling the globe working remotely and ticking off his festival bucket list.

Obsessed with music from a young age after his father introduced him to Deep Purple, Tobias is sadly devoid of musical talent, which is why he writes about it. A lover of all things hip hop, indie, electronic, pop, and classic rock, he also enjoys pepperoni pizza, cheesy action movies, and the great outdoors.
