Tory 'Jester' Staples

I own and operate Jester Underground, a full-service music management company with a roster of New Zealand and Australian based artists (Decortica, Helen Corry, The Ghosts of Motat, Attack Me If You Dare).

I have considerable experience in sales and management with a background in music, travel and retail industries. My key strengths are tenacity, negotiation and positivity - I have a huge enthusiasm for my work. Having previously worked in corporate, small business and self-employed settings, I am adaptable and can operate in formal or flat organisational structures. I enjoy collaboration and also have the drive to work autonomously.

As a professional drummer, I have worked internationally across different genres and featured on the recordings of major label and unsigned acts. I am also an accomplished DJ with regular spots through-out NZ and Australia.
