Favourite musician growing up:
Just one?! Probably CSNY
Favourite musician now:
Sleater-Kinney or Hole
Guilty pleasure song:
I don’t feel guilty because it seriously slaps but “You Get What You Give” by the New Radicals. It’s my anti-depression song
Live show ritual:
Hide in the green room, warm up and don’t talk to anyone. Ask myself if Courtney Love would be nervous (no).
Favourite local musician:
This is tough because we have such an amazing music community in this city and there are so many bands that I love. I have to say my mind was completely blown by Sap recently.
EP or LP?
LP, but sometimes an EP feels right if there’s a shorter body of work that seems to have organically finished coming out of your brain.
Early bird or night owl?
Night owl for sure.
Road or studio?
I will always choose stage over studio since I’m a bit too restless to stay in one place for some of the long recording days.
Any shows or albums coming up?
I have a four-song EP coming this summer so I’ll be releasing a single from that soon. I’m wrapping things up there, working on developing my new alt-rock band Shutterbug and doing some songwriting currently. I’ll be back on stage with some new solo stuff this summer.

Kew Gardens because it’s right on the beach, has tons of activities and is so picturesque.
