Jed started his piano lessons at the age of 6 and by the time he reached 12, he had started learning the pipe organ. During his Primary and Secondary years, he competed in various piano competitions such as the Sydney Eisteddfod and also pipe organ competitions conducted by the Organ Music Society of Sydney, receiving a Highly Commendation award for his performances.

In the 2015 Junior Music Festival, presented by the Music Teachers Association of NSW, Jed won 1st Prize and received the Miriam Hyde Piano Award. He was also selected to participate in the Young Organist’s Day at Sydney Town Hall for four consecutive years from 2014 to 2017.

Jed received his Associate Diploma on the Piano through the Australian Music Examination Board in 2017. In 2018 he was awarded an Associate Diploma in Music Performance with Distinction on the Pipe Organ, and in 2019 a Licentiate Diploma also on the Pipe Organ by Trinity College London.

The qualities that Jed loves about the pipe organ is that it is an iconic, orchestral and highly sacred instrument which produces the most celestial and soothing harmonies, as well as triumphant proclamations. He believes that it is the most sacred of all musical instruments designed to carry the voices, praises and prayers of people to Heaven.

Jed is currently a 4th year student at The University of Sydney Conservatorium of Music majoring in a “Bachelor of Music Composition for Creative Industries”. Jed loves music as it has a healing power and it releases positive energy. To him, music brings joy and people together.
