Music Momentum

Mr Rob Cooke, Director of Music

Chandler Campbell commenced at TSS in Year 5. Now in his last year, he has developed into a fine musician who composes interesting music of all styles.

He is also becoming quite an accomplished performer and has set up his own social media channels to promote his music. Move over Michael Bublé!

Hudson Faulkner’s music is gaining some serious momentum with the Year 12 student being featured on Channel 9 News in May. He also had an article written about him in the Gold Coast Bulletin.

Hudson’s creativity has afforded him the ability to sing, play guitar and write his own lyrics. The song that featured on Channel 9 was something he wrote with the idea of bringing people together through COVID-19. Titled Gotta Hold On, the song is about isolation and being separated from loved ones.

Hudson only started singing two years ago and began writing his own lyrics earlier this year. Despite some reservation and nerves, the 17-year-old wrote and recorded the song with White Horse Studios in Burleigh Heads. Hudson, who takes his inspiration from Ed Sheeran, has a bright musical future, and hopes to make a career out of his talent.

James Vincent, (Walker Vice-Captain, Prefect and Music Captain in 2013), has been travelling the world after finishing his music degrees at Victoria College of Arts and Berklee Music School (USA) mastering his craft in music production.

James has received some great success of late, working under the production name JIM ALXNDR. A song that he collaborated with Angie McMahon called Slave, got serious airplay and rave reviews on Triple J at the end of last year.

Recently, James entered a competition on Triple J Unearthed called DIY SUPERGROUP. Triple J released some samples of a variety of artists and tasked people with creating their own track. Out of over 900 entries, James was shortlisted as a finalist with his track called u + her 4eva. His track uses some vocals from fellow Gold Coaster Amy Shark who has given it her stamp of approval.
