What’s your best memory from the music industry?
When you get your first record contract. Certainly a highlight to the kickoff of my musical career in 1999.
What’s your favourite part of being an artist?
That I get to dream up crazy ideas, songs and wake up the next day and perform them and share them with the world.
How does it feel to open for some famous bands?
It’s always a blast to be invited to go and tour and warm up the stage for your idols. People you’ve listened to your whole life, you now get to be part of that with them.
What’s your goal for the future?
You learn in the music industry to take it one day at a time. I’m so lucky to do this every day, it would be crazy to be thinking five years ahead.
