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?
Just moved to the city of Winnipeg from the shores of Lake Winnipeg at Victoria Beach. Rented an apartment and started to isolate here.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Well primarily being a songwriter I decided to keep doing that and after releasing an album in 2015, I continued to record as a solo artist and write songs with other artists. My new cd "Secret" was released in 2020 so I was isolated but very busy writing and recording.
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?
Writing songs for my own projects and co writing with other artists via internet which i really enjoy! Also trying to help other artists with promotion and performing royalty advice that I believe I have become quite adept at over the years.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
Waiting to see, hug and gather will my family. Cousins, sisters, brothers etc. Hope it ends soon! Miss everyone!!
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Artist exposure for all the wonderful artists on your program.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
If you are a song writer, artist etc. Don't ever give up. We as artists and people in general must stay positive and believe in life, love and laughter! We'll all be out there soon. Just a small bump in the vastness of creation!!
