OUR PRODUCER – Melissa Robertson
Before Zoom was even a “thing”, Melissa was producing online creative conversations with people from across Australia and India. With over 100 podcast episodes produced and having trained over 40 people in the various aspects of compiling a podcast series, Melissa now shares her knowledge and experience with participants.
Working with Arts Nexus since 2001, Melissa relishes the opportunity to mentor and nurture arts workers and practitioners in all aspects of arts business practices. Providing online training and resources, creating social media networks, Melissa is experienced in all aspects of digital technologies. Melissa Robertson has been delivering training in formal, informal, accredited and non-accredited environments for over 30 years.
Since the internet became the new vehicle for communication with the broader community and advantageous for the online promotions and marketing for the arts and cultural industries, Melissa embraced this technology and the opportunity it brings to promote yourself, share stories and turn a spotlight onto your projects and community.
In 2020 Arts Nexus established a community-access digital recording studio in Babinda, Queensland, for our members and the broader community, to record stories, oral histories, language documentation, podcasts and promotions. To support the many people enquiring about starting a podcast, it was soon understood that the skill levels required and the technical support to record would be paramount. Hence a training program began, funded by Community Broadcast Foundation and Investing in Qld Women, called TAPESTRY OF YARNS in 2023.
Through our tailored training program, Melissa supported over 40 people to access online open-source programs, gain confidence in the use of technology and setting up their own domestic studios. By taking people through the entire process from concept, designing their own promotional elements, recording in a studio with a producer and then uploading to online platforms, our participants can realise their dream and have a real experience, in real time of what it takes to produce a podcast series.

He studied music and performed in concerts in Australia and New Zealand fro many tears as part of a successful classical guitar duet, with a number of major choirs and a s a member of various folk, world and contemporary bands. Although schooled in choral traditions with singing and chamber choirs (Fiori Musicale in Armidale, the Brisbane Choral, Hamilton Civic Choir (New Zealand) and the Queensland Choir), Paul now enjoys writing now for classical and acoustic guitar. Paul’s wok as a composer draws on classical and folk traditions drawing experiences in working in many countries in aid and development work with UNICEF and Save the Children. The sounds of South East Asia and the music of the Andes from Peru and Bolivia are among Paul’s favourites. Paul is now working in a musical partnership with Cairns based singer Katerini Manolatos. After meeting Katerini, Paul began a new chapter in his own musical journey that tapped into the rich vein of Greek music and culture. This established the basis for the current musical partnership known as a Musical Odyssey, an exploration of the culture and music of Greece. . Paul has noted a strong linkage with Greek composer like Theodorakis and the music of Spain where the guitar has its spiritual home. This has helped Paul as a guitarist provide insights into interpreting and presenting Greek music through the guitar as instrument as the principal instrument. In the recent recording (2015) A Musical Odyssey, this fresh approach to Greek Classical music is captured. www.ArtsNexus.com.au -
