With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
Luckily I was at home in London so didn't get stranded anywhere!
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
I used the lockdown to write and record my debut EP. I just released it at the end of July and followed it with a sell out launch show at a local record store.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
I've used the time to properly focus on my music and try to improve my playing and songwriting ability. I use music to improve my mental health and I feel lucky that I have this outlet.
As things are reopening & restrictions are lifting have you booked any new gigs? Tours? Etc? If your region is still under restriction, how are dealing with the Covid third wave?
Trying to get the shows in now especially as I have just started playing with a new backing band! Three heads now behind the music helps me to motivate myself to get bigger and better gigs in the future.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Get the vaccine and get back to live music!
