Meet the Rockaway Records Team

More Than Just Staff – We're Your Fellow Music and Pop Culture Obsessives

At Rockaway Records, we don’t just hire people to work a shift and clock out.
We choose team members who live and breathe the same passions we do — music, pop culture, and great customer service.

When you walk into Rockaway or browse online, you're not just meeting someone behind a counter. You're meeting someone who genuinely wants to help you find your next favourite album, a gift for a loved one or a sound setup you will love!

Our team is carefully chosen because they bring a mix of knowledge, kindness, enthusiasm, and a real respect for every customer who walks through our doors or clicks onto our site.
Here’s what we believe in:

• Respect for every customer. No snobbery, no pushy sales talk – just genuine conversations and real help.
  
• Knowledge of music, pop culture, and tech. Whether it's an '80s pressing of The Cure, the latest Audio-Technica turntable, or a vintage Star Wars collectable, our crew knows their stuff (and if they don’t, they’ll find out for you!).
  
• Up-to-date, factual advice. We're committed to helping you make informed decisions with accurate, current information about our products and what best works for you.
  
• A passion for connecting. We’re here to chat, recommend, reminisce, and celebrate the magic of music and pop culture with you.
  

You’ll never find "big chain store vibes" here. Just good humans who care.

Now, meet the team that makes Rockaway Records the welcoming, music-loving hub it is:

Owena

Letting Owena near your record player is an almost guaranteed way to end up hosting an indie festival in your lounge room. Powered by coffee and a razor-sharp sense of sarcasm, you’ll find her behind a computer or reviving childhood dreams with the store’s Transformers collection.

Ryan

Official vinyl wrangler, unofficial office tech support. Ryan spends his days getting stacks of new and used records into the racks, ready for your next dig. If you love Prince, Star Wars, and a good chat, Ryan is your guy.

Ethan

82% artist, 36% mathematician (don’t ask him how that adds up). Ethan brings smiles, banter, and serious music taste. Blend some Jazz with a splash of Disco Funk Fusion, top it with a touch of film noir mystery — that's Ethan in a nutshell.

Tyrone

Kendrick Lamar fan, sushi enthusiast, and part-time store comedian. Tyrone’s quick with a laugh, a helping hand, and his signature line: "Clean up on aisle five!" You'll hear it. You’ll laugh. It’s inevitable.

Brett

The friendliest green-haired dude you’ll ever meet. If it’s about anything '90s — from TMNT to Nirvana — Brett’s your man. He shreds guitar, belts out punk rock anthems, and still finds time to share his encyclopedic music knowledge with customers.

Dean

A true Rockaway legend. Dean’s been with the store almost as long as Scott and Glenyce themselves. With encyclopaedic knowledge of music history and an unmatched love for CDs, he’s the wizard behind those constantly refreshed CD racks you love.

Lauren

Fresh back on the Rockaway scene, Lauren is on a mission to curate the coolest collection of common and rare 45s. Her incredible music knowledge and live singing chops mean she doesn’t just list records — she knows their soul.

Why It Matters

At Rockaway, we know shopping for music, turntables, and collectables isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about the experience.
That’s why we put so much heart into picking a team who knows their stuff, loves what they do, and genuinely wants you to walk away happier than when you came in.

Come and have a chat. Spin a story. Find something you didn’t know you needed.
That’s what we’re here for.
