What was the first instrument you fell in love with?

The bass guitar.

What kind of music did you love when you were younger?

I’ve always liked just about everything. Pretty eclectic on that front. But probably soul.

Come away with me - Norah Jones

What is the one song you wished you could have written yourself?


Dreams - Fleetwood Mac

Do you have any habits or rituals you go through when trying to write new music?

I write a lot so I try new things all the time. I like to write on different instruments. Write with different people, write in the car on long road trips.

Who are your favourite artists you have found yourself listening to at the moment?

Sturgill Simpson, Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, Al Green, JJ Cale, Waylon Jennings.

If you could open a show for anyone in the world, who would it be?

What do you find is the most rewarding part about being a musician?

The moment you push through a song idea and it becomes an actual song. Not just a concept bouncing around in your brain.

And what is the most frustrating part?

It’s a lot of constant hard work to make it happen financially. It’s a lot of long late nights and early mornings to keep up with everything.

And what is the best piece of advice you have received as a musician?

Don’t follow. Just be as authentic as you possibly can be and follow your own path with it. You are the only you. Figure out your story and capitalise on your unique journey.
