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 visiting my friends and doing photoshoots in Laguna Beach! We road tripped to Las Vegas for two days before I had to take a quick flight home right before the Canadian border closed!
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Luckily, we weren't on tour, so it didn't mess up our schedules too much! I had a music video shoot and photoshoot planned for Apocalypse Love, but it got cancelled because hair, make-up, wardrobe all got put on hold. I still wanted to release Apocalypse Love without too much of a delay, because it felt very timely to the era we are in... so I took the creative reigns and did my own hair, make-up, wardrobe and shot the single artwork at my house! We are preparing now to shoot the music video, which I'm pretty excited about!
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
I've been loving this extra time to myself. I've been meditating a lot, spending more time in nature, reading the books I've had on my shelf forever, and enjoying cooking and making a huge mess in the kitchen! Also, cuddles with my pup have reached an all-time high. I've been writing a lot and working on new music, spending more time working with my vocal coach, and getting into the creative zone as much as possible!
Favourite quarantine meal?
Home-made pizza, 100%! I use this special sauce from Brooklyn, and it is the BEST!
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
My favourite Starlite Room moment is yet to come... hopefully I will play there one day!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Take this strange time in life to discover what you really love, what's really important to you, and spend more of your time doing that. Life is too short to not enjoy the moments and magic of every day. Whatever dreams you have... now is the time to plant the seeds and start a new adventure!
