Phaedra Watts

Festival Director, Nannup Music Festival

Phaedra is Festival Director of Nannup Music Festival, one of Australia’s most celebrated regional music events. She oversees the festival’s creative vision, programming, production and logistics, working closely with her dedicated team to bring diverse line-ups and welcoming experiences to life.

A passionate champion of emerging and Indigenous artists, Phaedra previously coordinated the Mowanjum Festivals (2017–21) and stage-managed Barunga Festival, and serves as a peer assessor for numerous arts organisations.

In 2017, she received the Golden WAMi Award for her contribution to WA’s music industry. When she isn’t involved in any of these ‘industry’ things, she can be found either at home or at the sea – both her sanctuaries.
