Savina started organising all ages shows from the age of 16 for her band and her favourite local bands. She became a founding member of organisations Local Output, Underground Music and Savvy Promotions all with a mission to create more all ages music events in Auckland. This all led her to study Certificate in Live Sound and Event Production at MAINZ and working as a live sound engineer and AV technician. When the Diploma in Music and Event Management was announced as a new course at MAINZ, she took up study again to further her knowledge of the ‘behind the scenes’ of the music industry.
Savina has since worked in various areas of the music industry for 15+ years, holding extensive knowledge from music publishing and music supervision (Mushroom Music, Native Tongue / Mana Music) to events, tours and festivals (Solid Entertainment, Rhythm and Vines). She moved onto working for venues, firstly as an event coordinator at Auckland Live (Auckland Town Hall, ASB Theatre, Civic Theatre), as an event manager at Auckland Stadiums (Mt Smart Stadium, Western Springs Stadium, QBE Stadium) and now as an Account Manager at Auckland Live booking venues (Auckland Town Hall, ASB Theatre, Civic Theatre, BMC, Shed 10 and The Cloud). Savina was awarded the Priava Rising Star award at the Entertainment Venues Association NZ Awards in 2017. Savina is heavily involved in education and industry as the Chair of Programme Advisory Committee at MAINZ, trustee of the NZ Music Commission and as a guest speaker at various seminars and education providers.
