After finishing school and his advanced diploma of contemporary music at the WA Academy of Performing Arts, Carrera became a full-time musician and part-time assistant teacher at Joondalup Entertainers Theatre School (JETS).

“I’ve been performing about six years; I always gravitated towards music,” he said.

“Irene McCormack Catholic College had a really good music program.”

The guitarist and loop pedal artist covers styles from hip-hop, folk, acoustic soul, pop and rock, influenced by acts such as John Mayer, Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars.

In February, he held a loop pedal workshop at the Butler school for music students, giving them advice on using loop stations and how to start a loop.

The one-man-band, who encourages crowd participation, will return to IMCC in April to perform his EP songs for the students.
