What are the best and worst things about touring and living on the road for long periods of time?
The best things are the family dynamic that happens really quickly between the bands and getting to perform every night. The worst things are lugging in and lugging out all your gear and merch and you never get down time by yourself.

Tell us the story of how you got started as a musician and how you got to where you are today.
It’s kind of a long story, I’ll keep it quick. I started singing really young, I started writing really young. I got on a TV show. I got to write music for a show called Instant Star and then I started to focus on music. I moved from Toronto to Brooklyn three years ago and this is my 5th tour since moving here. Music’s been…it’s my life. And I just did a record, I funded it on Pledge instead of going the major label route. So, yeah, I guess that’s the story so far.

What was the first concert you ever attended?
Celine Dion! In a box seat, I was 11, it was awesome.

Show us a hidden talent.
A hidden talent? I don’t know if I have any hidden talents. I can make a fish face.

Why did you choose Let ‘Em Eat Cake as the album name?
Because to me, it’s a reflection of where I am now in life and it’s my favorite song off the album. It kind of just encapsulates the last 2 years for me and my experiences.

Are you planning on doing any more music videos this year?
Yes, I am! After this tour I’m gonna do a music video and I’m real excited about it. I also have a video coming out soon that I’m releasing just in rehearsal, at my rehearsal space that I’m putting out just in the meantime. But yeah, music video after this tour.

What song do you enjoy performing the most?
“Heart Like That,” “Thank You For Breaking My Heart,” and “Let ‘Em Eat Cake.”

Describe your music in three words.
Honest. Soulful, I hope. Loud.

Anything else you’d like to say to your fans?
Check me out on tour! I’m on tour until December 7th. Probably in a town where you are!
