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?
In the middle of producing writing my next album and producing various artists.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
All my up coming gigs were cancelled and ongoing productions were delayed. I am now doing on-line concerts and finishing my next album at my home studio.
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 using the Covid down time to write many new songs. I now have enough new material for my next 3 albums.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
Much the same as the first wave. I have the advantage of being a multi instrumentalist and a record producer, so I don't need a team around me.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
I've just discovered you guys through my publicist Eric Alper. Looking forward to many Starlight sessions.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Yes. Always look for a chance to be creative no matter where you find yourself in life.
