EP or LP?
I prefer EP’s! I don’t necessarily need to hear 5 remixes of the same track
Early bird or night owl?
Neither! I’m actually very boring and responsible, so I’m all for waking and retiring at reasonable times.
Road or studio?
I believe you need both to balance your experience in either setting.

‘Metamorphosis’ is now available to stream and purchase on Bandcamp

Rapid Fire Local Questions:
What is your favourite local restaurant?
Kawa Sushi on Church St. always nails their rice and fish!

My favourite streets are around the Queen West area and around College- There are some nice music venues around there that are still operating!
What is your favourite park in your city and why?
Parks? In Toronto?! Go drive out of the city if you don’t want to step in dog poop.
What is your favourite music venue in your city?
I’m a big fan of the El Mocambo. They’ve really kept it in beautiful shape considering how old it is.
