ABOUT US
I'm Len Hawco — artist, instrument maker, and founder of Melbourne Artists Underground. My journey has always been driven by a deep love for raw, authentic creativity — the kind that bubbles up from the streets, the studios, and the back rooms of this incredible city. Melbourne Artists Underground is a grassroots initiative born out of a desire to amplify the voices of independent and emerging artists across music, visual art, and performance. We create platforms for expression from live sessions. This is a movement built on connection, not commerce. Every donation fuels opportunity funding production costs, creative tools, promotions, and space for artists to grow and thrive. Your support goes directly into the heart of the local scene, where it’s needed most. We’re not just building content — we’re building culture, one artist at a time.
WELCOME
Senior Technical Director | Event Production Specialist
| Creative Maker
​
With over 25 years in live event production across Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, I bring deep technical expertise and creative insight to every project. From large-scale conferences to cultural showcases, I manage the full production process (audio-visual, staging, lighting, and team leadership) to deliver smooth, impactful experiences.
I'm also a musician, video editor, graphic designer and maker of handcrafted Native American-style flutes, blending technology with artistry in everything I do.
