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 had just come back from a trip to Florida two weeks before everything shut down! I was in university in my 3rd year of kinesiology and was also prepping for the release of my next single "Lake Day"! I had quite a few shows planned and seminars to go to but its better to stay safe and isolate on the family farm!
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
The pandemic has given me time to focus on may writing along with finishing my degree that I only have one semester left in. I had planned to pursue festival performances but those were all canceled. I do have 3 more songs recorded to be released as singles within the next year with the next one being set for TODAY!
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?
Well our profs gave way more homework since they figured we would have way more free time so that ate up a lot of it. But really I used a lot of it to songwrite and work on my social media since I hadn't been very good at that! I bought an exercise bike to try to help me not get cabin fever since I have always been an athlete and played university soccer for 3 years. The hardest part though has been not being able to see my Baba and Gido since they are higher risk.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
It has been alright. Its added stress with finals but in the end we just all need to do what we can to stay safe and not prolong this pandemic by taking risks.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
I would say Merry Christmas!! I hope everyone who reads this has a fantastic holiday season and a happy new year. Lets all hope for a better 2021!
