CURRENT MEMBERS

I'm a solo artist but have work closely with my producer and musical partner in crime, Devrim Eldelekli

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? 

When everything came to a halt I was at home in Toronto getting ready to play my first band show in months which was supposed to showcase new songs I had be writing over the past year.

How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?

I was actually in the planning stages of releasing a new album, applying for funding, booking shows and had a session coming up to finish a new single I wanted to release this spring but all of that has been put on hold. I was also focusing a lot of my time on developing my own music production skills before all this, so having a lot more time to focus on that has kinda been a game-changer for me. Being able to produce my own music and write to my own tracks is blowing my mind haha. I've got some big dreams and new music goals thanks to all this time.

What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?

I'm also a vocal coach, so when I'm not teaching lessons through ZOOM, I'm spending my time walking my pup and working on music production.

Favourite quarantine meal?

Does coffee count as a meal? Haha I guess coffee with one of my homemade almond flour pumpkin muffins for breakfast.

Favourite Starlite Room Moment?

I hope to have my first Starlite Room Moment when all of this is over!

Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?

I think it's important to remember that you don't have to be productive right now and you definitely don't have to come out of all this with some new amazing life changing anything. It's ok to not be ok and It's ok to do whatever it is that you feel inspired to do...even if it's nothing! Nobody has ever been through this before so remember to be kind to yourself and try to focus on the little things that make you happy.
