Guilty Pleasure Song:

I don’t believe in guilty pleasures because I don’t care what people think of what I listen to… but if I HAD to choose one to call a guilty pleasure, it would probably be “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber.

Live Show Ritual:

Before climbing up to the stage, I always crouch down and just recognize the moment I’m in, take everything in and do a breathing exercise to keep me grounded before a set.

Favourite local artist:

I’d have to say Delaney Jane.

Sneaky Dees nachos, pasta from Terroni or a superfood salad from Fresh?

I mean, I want to say pasta because carbs are life… but superfood salads really do feed my soul and cravings.

Queen or College St?

Queen Street West forever!

Trinity Bellwoods or High Park, Riverdale or Kew Gardens?

Trinity! That’s my favourite summer hangout spot.

EP or LP?

EP!

Early bird or night owl?

Night owl for sure because all my creativity comes to play at night!

Road or studio?

This is a tough question because I equally love both of these things. But I’m going to have to say road because I love to travel and perform for new faces every single night.

Swiss Chalet or Roti?

Roti!

But can I add Chalet sauce though?

Where can we follow you?

On my Instagram, Facebook or Twitter!

Any shows or albums coming up?

I have two more singles coming out and videos as well! Keep your eyes and ears peeled!
