"It’s been an absolute pleasure working with so many amazing people - from the staff at WAM to every level of the industry - and I’m so thankful for everyone’s support in making it such a pleasure to champion WA music.

"Though sleep may have suffered over the years, I’m happy to leave feeling truly proud of what we’ve achieved in my time here, with so many records broken, new initiatives launched, (r)evolutions sparked, ground-breaking projects worked on & more... it’s been a fulfilling blast.

Wilson, previously a founding editor at Drum Media Perth and lecturer ar Murdoch University, says he has no immediate plans for the future, but that he needed a change.

"It’s time for a much-needed change though. What that might be, I have no fixed direction – or city, even… But change is necessary.

"Either way, hopefully be speaking to you in some new role in the future – so look forward to continuing our beery banter."
