Nicole Fossati
Editor/Journalist
Bio:
Over the last fifteen years Nicole Fossati has somehow maintained consistent involvement in the music and media industries. What start in the mid nineties as a way to avoid getting a real job, Fossati started writing for the country’s only dance music mag, 3D World. Through another strange series of events she ended up editing the magazine, guesting on community television and radio shows and eventually jumping ship to join Sony Music in dance music marketing.
That got old real quick and sodden, she climbed back into the media boat by resuming her writing and talking and she soon landed the coveted position as the female host on SBS’ groundbreaking electronic music program Alchemy. She was also the music editor and the host of the sister radio program, but for now lets just keep it lineal and say she pretty much stepped into Triple J from here.
Hosting the J’s Drive show did come after a brief stint at EMI, which was rad, some panel mediation and conference speaking roles on electronic music, more features and op ed writing, and a year long guest spot on Adam & Wil’s breakfast show, but it seemed to happen so fast. She had her on specialist late night program over the weekends on the J’s called The Club where for once in her life, she mostly let the music do the talking.
Nic left the ABC to work with the DC brand in the capacity of events and sponsorship manager to celebrities and musicians, but in reality it was a pretty big fat excuse to go snowboarding whenever and where ever she wanted, and write about it.
With her pipe dreams behind her it was a side step into and out of Austereo, after which she resumed the more cerebral vexations of editing Australia’s leading music industry business magazine, The Music Network, and corresponding consumer website of the same name.com . She comes to us now from somewhere in that compelling-content-creation zone.Â
