Give a Little Bio of yourself.
I’m an Indie Rock singer/songwriter and guitarist from New York currently living in London. I am working on my debut EP composed of my own originals as well as gigging around the London area.
How long have you been doing music?
I’ve been interested in music basically all my life – I began singing and learning piano at a young age. When I was about 12 or 13, I started playing guitar and creating my own songs. Ever since then I’ve been focusing on music as a career.
What made you go in to music?
Ever since I was little, I knew I had to pursue a career in music. I loved the feeling of being on stage and I loved singing and writing my own songs.
Are you a Signed Artist?
No, I’m an unsigned artist at the moment.
Who are your influences?
My main influences come from earlier eras – the late 60s and 70s mainly. Some include Patti Smith, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, etc. I think that the era of the 70s fostered some amazing singers and bands that are now considered legends, and rightfully so. I also grew up listening to a lot of rap and hip hop, which I’d say definitely influences my lyrics and writing style.
When will you be releasing new music?
A few great producers in NYC and I are currently working on my debut EP which should be out sometime in February, if all goes well.
How do you get inspiration to write songs?
I get inspiration to write songs from my experiences and my environment…I travelled a lot as a kid and grew up in many different cultures around the world, so a lot of my lyrics are inspired by the place I live in at the moment and places I have been to. So for example, gigging around London has inspired many songs – seeing the people there, hearing new stories, having new experiences, and so on. Every time I feel a certain way about my relationships, friendships or generally about life, I write.
Where is your dream place to perform (Country)?
I would love to perform at a festival, like Glastonbury or Reading. I think the vibes at those festivals are unmatched, and being on stage must be exhilarating.
Who would you like to perform with, if you got the chance?
One of my favourite bands is The Black Keys, and I would love to perform with them.
Where do you see yourself in 2-5 years?
I see myself hopefully having a couple of very successful albums out, playing some big stages to big crowds and headlining some big festivals.
If you weren’t doing music what would you be doing?
I would probably be doing a normal job, seeing bands play and wishing I was up on stage instead.
Who is your favourite Artist or Band at The Moment?
Some of my favourite modern artists/bands include Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys, The Strokes, and those types of Indie Rock bands.
