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 in Toronto, all of my gigs... gone
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Yes, a tour, lots of local live shows. The album release party will still happen, hopefully a full on live show.
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 have written a bunch of new songs, I am learning the Logic recording system and playing lots of piano.
How are dealing with the Covid fifth wave? Have things locked down again in your region? Have you had to cancel gigs, tours, etc.? Are things reopening & restrictions are lifting in your region? Have you booked any new gigs, tours, etc.? What are your plans for 2022?
I did have a few gigs booked, now not sure wise is going to happen with this new varient. I am still teaching a lot. I’m also working with a filmmaker on a new project I am excited about. The future looks great.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Eric Alper introduced me to the Starlite room. I feel the future will hold many favourites.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Time is sacred, try your best to have a positive outlook, even in trying times. We will get through this covid thing TOGETHER.
