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 well as being a singer I'm also a dancer/dance teacher so I was at the studio teaching kids how to tap. I remember everyone being sent home before the classes were even done for the evening, and I was so shocked at how crazy it all had gotten.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We definitely wanted to start planning shows/tours but with everything being in limbo and shut down it has made it a little difficult. But we still plan on figuring it out and making it happen! We are also working on a few more songs to finish and release my first album which is really exciting, as well as making a music video for my new single "Blast Off" (Light years and beyond)
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 definitely keep working on my voice as well as writing more music. I also decided to teach myself (with the help of youtube) how to play the guitar and ukulele. I'm lucky to have a treadmill at home so I'm still getting that cardio in. Not to mention that I'm constantly dancing :) I also LOVE meditating and grounding myself. It keeps me positive and refreshed.
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?
Toronto is definitely still under restrictions so slowly but surely we are going to get those gigs and tours to happen. I am using this time to write and finish a few more songs to complete my first album and release it. I'm also super pumped to make and share with everyone the music video for "Blast Off" (Light years and beyond).
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
I was very excited to see Andrew Allen! He is a great artist. Anytime someone asks me what my favourite Christmas song is, I always talk about Andrew's "I wanna be your Christmas". It's my absolute favourite!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Always look for the positive in every situation. "When you change the way you see things... the things you see change" Thank you so much to everyone for all the love and support as well as thank you to Starlite Sessions for including me in Artist of the Day.
