Q. How would you describe yourself in one word?
Oh this is hard but I would say the best word to describe me is honest. Honesty and integrity means a lot to me.
Q. Why do you feel this is the ideal profession for you?
Apart from the fact that I have been fired from every other job I’ve had, I think that music is my gift and it’s my true passion so I love what I do and I think that comes across when I talk about music. I devour all genres of music and have a wide eclectic taste so I am well versed in music and take bits and pieces from all different genres to make my own sound. Songs just come into my head whether it be a melody or a lyric and that’s not something you can fake, I do believe this is what I am meant to do and give back to my listeners the same healing I get from music.
Q. Your upcoming project?
My new single is called Things He Handed Down and it’s about my childhood. This was one of those songs that wrote itself really. In about 15 minutes after hearing the piano part my collaborator Jiro sent me, I had the song written. He lives in Japan so I had the initial demo finished by the time he woke up the next day. It just flowed out of me and came from my inner child. It’s about generational abuse and trauma in families and explores the things that are handed down through generations and questions why this happens. When I listened back to the song the first time, I was so proud and felt really emotional for the child inside me. I have been able to work through a lot of my traumas and I feel this song is giving a voice to my inner child.
This song is one that is from my inner child to any other person that suffered abuse and hopefully makes them feel less alone.
Q. What's the response you expect from your fans about your new single 'Things He Handed Down'?
Everyone that heard the single before it’s release in my team/circle all commented on how relatable it was, even if you’ve not had the exact same experience as me, Father son relationships can be difficult so I hope that my fans can find some healing in the song. The thinking behind releasing it on Fathers Day is that it isn’t always a happy day for everyone and a lot of memories can be triggered so again, I wanted people to not feel so alone on a day that can often come with a lot of emotions good and bad.
Q. Your favorite song?
This is such a hard question because I love so many different songs for different reasons but if I had to choose one, I’d say Because Of You by Kelly Clarkson. Every time I hear this song I cry and it was actually the song that made me get into songwriting as it was my story in a song and when I heard she had written it, it inspired me to start and the rest is history.
Q. Where do you see yourself in three years from now, or where would you like to be?
Oh I don’t like to think too far in the future because things can change in a minute but in three years, I want to be back on stage, still releasing music and writing for others. Life’s a journey and I’ve done a lot of work on myself as a person so I hope to continue on that journey of self love as well.
Q. Can you please tell us about the most successful project you have worked on.
I think success is a hard one to rate as for me, the most successful projects have been the ones where I’ve been proud of what I’ve written and it’s taught me something that I didn’t even know I was feeling. I use music as therapy so the prize for me is working on the song and putting it out and then hearing from my fans that it’s helped them. I don’t chase the numbers or streams, for me music is more than that, it’s about feeling, vulnerability and honesty. I’ve been very lucky to have success from it and my singles regularly chart on iTunes but for me, it means more when I hear from someone that they found healing in one of my songs.
Q. What is your dream project?
My dream project is to have a supergroup put together for a single with me, Kelly Clarkson, P!nk and Adele as I think that would be amazing. I love collaborating with other artists so that’s definitely a dream one for me.
Q. What are some things that you love?
Music will forever be my first love but i enjoy going to see live shows, theatre, my friends, my family, my niece and nephews that I absolutely adore being an uncle to, the gym, walking along the beach and sex and the city haha. It makes me want to move to New York.
