Pan
Born in small-town New Zealand, music shaped my early life before moving to the UK in 1993 with an HIV diagnosis. After years lost to meth addiction, rehab in 2016 changed everything.
I found healing, guitar, and community through Radical Faeries and Queer Spirit Festival — now performing, DJing, and co-leading Stewards with gratitude.
