SOUND SUMMIT

Millie Millgate has been employed as the Creative Director for MusicNSW since September 2005. In this position she is responsible for overseeing the Associations’ key projects, in particular Sound Summit, Bring It! (Hip-Hop recording project for South & South Western Sydney), VROOM (Venue Resource of Original Music), Indent (Youth Network for All Ages Event Organisers) and the SXSW Tour Manager initiative.

Simultaneous to her role with MusicNSW, Millie is also the Music Director for Garage Industries Pty Ltd, an entertainment company whose management roster includes Sydney artists The Camels and 3Seven7 as well as producing the recently released record-breaking film "Bra Boys", which she also Music Supervised.

Millie has been a member of the Australian Music Industry for over twelve years. Predominately in the live arena, she has been engaged as the venue booker for The Hopetoun and Annandale Hotels, the Entertainment Manager at Macquarie University Union and undertaken a number of positions for various Festivals including; Homebake, Big Day Out, Livid, Cockatoo Island, Legs 11, Equinox and Summersault.

Eliza Sarlos has vocationally and amateurly obsessed over independent music since the beginning of time. Currently holding the post of Program Co-ordinator at Sydney independent radio station FBi 94.5, she is also a regular contributor to Mess and Noise and Cyclic Defrost magazines, and hosts a show on the aforementioned FBi.

Alongside these more functional roles, Eliza has been putting on shows in backyards, kitchens and living rooms for the last couple of years and enjoys a mixtape and a good bake off when the opportunity arises. Her interests lie in where community and collaboration meet in the arts and, specifically, music, a preoccupation evident in many of the panels, workshops and performances present in this year's Sound Summit program.

This is Eliza's first year with Sound Summit and she's excited to be one of its co-directors for 2008.
