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?
Right before COVID hit I had taken a layoff from my job as a pressure piping welder to go on a cross Canada tour with the band I sing in, Protosequence. As expected, said tour fell apart due to the outbreak.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
With BoyNorth I had nothing on the books aside from catching up on recording. Things with Protosequence have been rather busy!
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
I've devoted a lot of time to writing and recording. I've also been learning Reaper as I feel it's more efficient on the editing/mixing side of things compared to FL. I'd say it's been a fantastic success so far and I have some fresh music that's nearly ready to be released!
Favourite quarantine meal?
To be frank I haven't had the same meal twice, I'm trying to keep it interesting to help break the monotony. So, I don't know, coffee? In the name of productivity?
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Seeing Misery Signals live for the first time. I grew up in a pretty small town, so I didn't often have the opportunity to see a lot of bands, they never toured up North. It was incredibly surreal to see this band that I used to jam in my mom's basement, right in front of me!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Stay busy. It may be frustrating being stuck at home all day, but this is a HUGE opportunity to learn an instrument, practice, record, work on your social media game, or any number of things. Find your silver lining!
