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 just starting to line up live performances, I was going to perform at a few spots in LA but then the world came to stop! It was a real bummer, but I'm thankful that I'm healthy and I'm trying to figure out other ways to perform without it being live and in person.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
I'm planning on sharing more acoustic videos of me singing and playing the piano from my home studio- so it changed the plan for sure but not my determination to keep creating and to get my music out there.
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've been doing zoom sessions with some amazing artists/producers out in LA, I've taken up cooking borscht, and I've been hiking non stop at times when I know no one else will be there! Like really early in the morning hikes, plus I'm a big morning person. I'm also trying to learn another language, we'll see how it goes!
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
I'm distancing. I miss hugging my friends and seeing everyone, but I care about them and their families and it's just the right thing to do. I also happen to care about my own health, so there's that too.
