Define your genre in five words or less:
Indie singer/songwriter.
How long have you been gigging and writing?
I have been writing since I started high school. I played my first gig at school and we did a Wolfmother cover. Then I started writing acoustic music for a while and gigging around town at cafes.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
I would say touring and playing music with other people has built my music the most. I know our touring band loves meeting other bands and learning about their music and it inspires you a lot.
What part of making music excites you the most?
I really love recording music and showing other people. Its one thing when you’ve written the song in your own time and that is great too but then developing a sound for that song is very cool.
Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?
It’s called a ‘pre gig’ and it involves me just feeling a little nervous and everyone around me paying me out about it.
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?
Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros.
How do you manage playing and making music with your other commitments?
At the moment I am focused entirely on music. I do a lot of busking when we are not on tour or recording. Busking has been great in getting my music out there and helping out financially too. I will be doing a bit of busking in Melbourne coming up to promote my show on June 29.
Describe the best gig you’ve ever played.
Last year I won the Unearthed spot for the Festival Of The Sun in Port Macquarie. We are originally from there so to play to a big home crowd was great. We have all wanted to play that festival for a long time so it was amazing to be on the bill. Even though it was at 10am we still had a ball!
When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?
We are playing an all-ages show in Melbourne on Saturday June 29 at the Sub Lounge. The gig is to promote my new EP All About To Change.
