What is your favorite place to perform? What do you like about it?
That is hard to choose because any opportunity to play is a special one! The commodore ballroom in my hometown was always a bucket list one that I got to check off earlier this year.
Other than artists, who has been influential in your decision to become a singer?
My parents, my dad was a musician as well and my mother was always incredibly supportive of my dreams.

It was a song about my hamster who died, it was called “Gus”.
