I’m the presenter and producer of Mornings on triple j.
Why do you do it?
Because I love sharing the music and stories I’m passionate about, with a big audience of people who love it too.
What do you love about the city you live in?
I can get to any number of beautiful, ocean pools in a matter of minutes. Growing up in Melbourne and having to drive 90 minutes to a good beach, Sydney has this coastal living thing down pat.
Where did you go for your last holiday?
New Zealand’s North Island.
What's your favourite item of clothing? Why?
A denim jacket I bought when I was 16. At the time it was the most expensive thing I’d ever bought, but I still wear it all the time, years later.
What was your favourite TV show when you were a kid?
'Neighbours'.
If we were coming over to your place, what would you cook us?
Italian food.
What's the best lesson you've ever learned?
Sometimes it’s better to just do it. Don’t over think, just do. The rest will fall into place once you’re in it.
Are you happy with your work/ life balance?
It changes day to day. What I do for work is often what I do for fun too. A good day is a good day across the board (and I have plenty of them).
How do you define success?
Doing what you love and having the people you do it for, feel it too.
Zan will appear at the A Rock & Roll Writers Festival at The Old Museum (Brisbane) 1-2 April.
