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 actually in the middle of finalizing an album! My release date for “Storm” was set for May 1st, 2020. I almost did not go ahead with it given that the world, including my world, was being flipped upside down. Despite the challenges, it oddly felt like the perfect time to release new music and the themes of these particular songs felt appropriate to the times. Everyone was getting creative during quarantine and working on a big project was a great distraction.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Most career plans had to be adjusted and some scratched entirely including some Storm release shows and a Storm tour that was in the works. I deeply miss travelling and plan to resume all of that once it’s safe to move forward :)
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?
When you have so much time at home and in your own thoughts, there is such a major opportunity for personal growth and mental strengthening. I think that's where a lot of my energy went during covid. I also loved spending more time with my family and my partner, and we got a new yorkie puppy, Moose, who is the light of our lives! Like many other artists, I also took the opportunity to do lots of writing and release several new singles.
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?
We're doing pretty well with vaccination rates in BC/Canada but we’re also experiencing a wave of the Delta variant. Myself, my family and my friends - we're all double vaccinated so private social life is definitely starting back up again. We’re still cautious about public social events but I think that will just take a bit more time. Very optimistic though!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
I encourage everyone to get vaccinated (if you haven’t already done so) and I hope you come out of this pandemic a little stronger and a little braver. If you get a chance to listen to any of my music, I hope it brings some more positivity into your day :) Cheers, Michelle
