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 living up in the mountains in the British Columbia interior.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
It didn't change anything for me, as I do everything myself- I write, perform and produce my music entirely on my own. I also film, produce and edit my music videos entirely myself, as well as creating all my own artwork, sets and costumes.
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 was already living like a hermit, so it just extended my lifestyle. Although it is a struggle, I just have to remain strong, and keep up hope. I've been working on my music alone for about 25 years, so I'm used to the struggle at this point.
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?
As I am currently just a recording artists who doesn't yet perform live, I've just been working on writing and producing new material, as well as doing cover songs.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Stay strong, keep connected to people, and keep up hope for better days ahead.
