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?
As usual, I was at my piano composing. Covid was distracting though, as social distractions were fewer and created a feeling of isolation.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
My four albums are being circulated and shared on most music sites and i am not going on tour this year. I plan to release my fifth album next year.
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?
Zoom and Facetime with friends was nice. Going for walks as a break from the piano and seeing smiling faces on the sidewalk helped. Working and creating as a composer, seeking proper life balance can be challenging anytime!
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 not booked any new gigs as yet.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
The Vinyl Series always intrigues me.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
During Covid, I came to realize that structure in my daily life was important to me. Given winter, the cold plus the isolation, structure and planning my days made me more productive and clear headed.
