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 coming back from the UK with Mark Wahlberg from shooting "Infinite" I went to visit my Mom in Boston before settling in with my family in Brampton for the duration of the pandemic.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Not doing shows for myself and our new artists was tough financially, but it gave us time to get the business set up better and make more contacts and collaborations to strengthen our team.
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 had major surgery and spent a good amount of time in recovery and getting my health back on track. Health and Wellness came to the forefront with the break.
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?
We are still booking virtual shows, but it will be a little while still here in Canada before we can resume proper touring schedule.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
"Wash your Hands" by The Bliss Band for sure!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
In these troubling times we all need to come together in Love and Unity. Keep positive, there is sunshine after the rain!
