(•)> Cru cru! What first got you into music?

The first thing that made me want to be a musician and play in bands was probably School Of Rock! I came out from the theatre just wanting to be in a band.

I started asking my dad about bands that he liked and it sent me down a very deep rabbit hole.

(•)> What's your favorite album of all time?

Southeastern by Jason Isbell - perfect from start to finish.

Recently I have been listening to Sierra Ferrell’s Trial By Flowers on repeat. It is a stunner 😍

Carolina Confessions by Marcus King, some of the guitar work on that record is SUBLIME

(•)> What memorable answers have you had to your work so far?

A man came up to me and told me that our song, Ghost, had helped him move on in life following the death of his daughter and thanked me for writing it. I don’t know how to describe the emotion that a comment like that makes you feel.

Ordinary people going through the ordinary struggles that we all face - that and my family.

My perfect day would involved exploring a new place, finding a little record shop, grabbing an unexpected bargain and then enjoying a coffee in the sunshine.

I once won a frisbee in a dancing competition after busting some moves to Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy”
