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?
I was ready and excited to perform at Poetry Jazz Cafe, and then the gig had to be cancelled. I was also frequently performing at the Royal York, Shangri La and other hotels around the city.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
I had many gigs planned, that were all cancelled. I was planning a tour for later in the year, which also had to be cancelled! Very unfortunate, but it gave me time to hone in and really focus on what I wanted to do with my time.
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 started to write more, and do remote studio sessions with producer/drummer Marito Marques. I also took up guitar! I was lucky enough to meet my boyfriend a couple months before the pandemic, so we quarantined together and enjoyed our time!
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?
I have come full circle, and booked a gig at Poetry Jazz as my first gig back! I'm really looking forward to playing live for the first time especially with the musicians I'll be playing with. Thing are slowly but surly starting to open back up and I'm so ready for it!!!
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
I have not been to the Starlite Room yet!! But now that my publicist Eric Alper has let me know about it, I for sure would LOVE to play there!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
We're almost there! I'm so excited for everyone to be vaccinated, life to go back to normal, and concerts to be back on!! Thank you for taking the time to read this, and keep an eye out for more music I'll be releasing soon :)
