CURRENT MEMBERS
Just me!
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?
Los Angeles.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
I had a summer tour planned during covid, so I had to cancel it. I released my debut album, "Recovery Songs" last October and have just released a charity cover compilation version of that album.
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've been working on some projects. My friend and I have a duo called Guyville and we have been making an album. I have a podcast with my friend, Allee Futterer and we are finally back after a long Covid related hiatus. I've also been writing a poetry book and i'm almost done!
How are dealing with the Covid third wave?
I try to not get my hopes up about the world reopening so every time things shut down or reopen, my lifestyle is still very quarantine. My partner and I mostly stay home. I work from home as a music teacher. I try to go on walks and get exercise to cope with the negative effects on my mental health. I make my own pickles and experiment with cooking whenever I can. But mostly, I watch a lot of Netflix.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Getting a mention on your IG was a major moment!
