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?
At the time, I had a serving job and was working the dinner shift when we found out that LA was shutting down the next day. It was surreal and strange. Musically, I was working on finishing up a couple of singles.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
I would have been focusing on live shows for sure if it wasn't for Covid. To be honest, I've been a bit lost navigating a music project without that limb. But I ended up writing and releasing an entire EP instead.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
Working on music! I've also been going on a lot of hikes recently and trips to Joshua Tree. And shamefully watching too many movies and shows.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
I've still been pretty strict about where I go. I've been sticking to doing this outside as much as I can, since the weather is so nice now :)
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Sadly, I've never been. But this question makes me miss shows soooo much!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Remember to keep doing things that bring you joy.
