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 had some big shows booked that I had to cancel, which of course sucked! Lol Luckily, I had already started livestreaming just before the pandemic so I expanded on that and I was happy to see that my audience grew substantially despite what was going on in the world.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
The fall 2020, I was supposed to go on my first tour in the US and I was super disappointed not being able to do that. But I promise that as soon as they open up for Swedish artists to play in the US again I'll pick up where I left.
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'm meditating twice a day, every day, once in the morning and then right before I go to bed. I focus a lot of my thoughts and energy on visualizing my goals as an artist, seeing myself living in that environment.
That really helps to keep my spirits up.
I work out and I'm taking long powerwalks almost every day of the week. Last but not least, I enjoy drinking beer with friends as well😂
As things are reopening & restrictions are lifting have you booked any new gigs? Tours? Etc? If your region is still under restriction, how are dealing with the Covid third wave?
At the moment I have only a few gigs booked, it's really no idea to book a tour yet. At least not until we're sure of what the situation is going to be after the vacations and trips people are taking during the summer.
As we speak, me and my team are planning for my next release and the PR that goes with that, and we're also working on new creative ways to get my music out to the masses without being able to do extensive touring.
There are millions of ways to keep things going💯 💪
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
I really like the Virtual Open Mic Night initiative! I think it’s a fantastic way to help new artists being heard and seen.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Do only the things in life that make you feel good!
We are all ment to be happy!!!
And last but not least, DARE TO DREAM BIG!!!!!
