Get into the groove

At its core, Catch Music is a network of people who love music. 

Any keen musician knows it can be hard to find fellow musos to play with.

That’s why we’re here. Founded in 2007, we're passionate about creating inclusive music-based communities all over Perth and WA. Our goal is to support people in their pursuit of music, helping them build skills, make connections, and explore music in a safe and warm environment.

We want you!

Catch Music couldn’t run the awesome programs it does without our amazing volunteers.

We’re always on the lookout for passionate people to join our dynamic team. You don’t have to be a professional or budding musician to volunteer, you simply need a love for music, a love for people, and a passion for bringing the two together. 
If you’re looking for a rewarding experience and think you can donate your time and skills, we’d love to hear from you!

Jeremias Sosa

Catch Music Midland

  • Read Bio

    Hailing from Buenos Aires, Jere Sosa arrived in WA back in 2014 with a guitar and a head full of rich musical influences. His approach is founded upon the melodic songwriting of The Beatles and the guitar playing finesse of Carlos Santana, with punk, jazz and Latin feels within the living-breathing mix. Sosa performs with his band but retains a solid and continuing existence busking as a soloist, utilising a loop station that he adopted upon a trip to New Zealand some six years ago and taking songs to new heights even on his own.


    Sosa’s debut album, Coming back home in two footsteps, was recorded by Daniel Brown at Decibel Audio Productions and mastered at Poons Head with Rob Grant. The album features A Taste Of Honey, which won the ‘World’ category at the WAM Song Of The Year Awards in mid-2017.

Michael plays occasional solo gigs, records when he can and contributes to recording and performing bands from time to time.

     

    Catch Music provides Michael with the opportunity to use his music skills as well as his background in coaching and mentoring.
