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 home visiting my mom and working in New York City and had to rush back to Los Angeles. I ended up writing and releasing an EP in quarantine titled "If I"
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
I had to push back my album Wings back, because everything was so confusing and uncertain. I had planned to do more live shows and everything was shut down. Now that we have made a little progress I'll be releasing the album in April. Hopefully I will get a chance to do some live shows later in the year!
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?
I have been working out, reading a lot, I got certified to be a Yin Yoga teacher, working on sharing Yin Yoga and Wellness content and of course I have been writing songs and writing a lot more in my journal. I support my mental health by remembering to go outside to ground myself and be with nature. Staying in contact with my mom and brother every day, along with daily meditation has really kept me together mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
In LA the amount of cases is still really high. I still stay at home and make sure to keep doing what I have been doing to stay sane and healthy. I have my days when I get a bit down, unmotivated, or melancholy and I let myself feel that. This is not normal and we are expected to act like this is all normal, just because most of us have adjusted. So I give myself grace for feeling all types of emotions.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
I have never been but I hope to visit when this is all over.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Your goals and dreams are valid. You deserve all of the good things you want for your life. The key is making sure that you believe that.
