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 in a process of releasing an album and planning a mini promotional tour.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
The closure of live venues had and continue to have an impact on all of us especially those of us who had plans to release albums and tour. As a result, from all the closures, we are scrambling to find ways to make money.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
I have been in the studio writing and recording new music, while trying to explore other ways to showcase the music like livestream, etc.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
I went to a restaurant! although the experience was not the same without live music, I really missed eating out with friends.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Laconnexional's Afro Latin festival!! I also enjoy the live streams you do!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
1. Please keep being responsible so we can kill covid-19 and go back to normal.
2. Please support our local live music venues. Sign petitions, donate, call your MLAs, spread the word.
