When/where do you do your best writing? Usually at home in my office, and usually in the morning after a coffee when there is nothing else happening in my day. I write more after a long tour where I’ve met a lot of people and seen a lot of new places, then back home I have time to reflect and get to work on creating new music. Do you write about personal experience, the experience of others, observations, made-up stories, something else or a combination? It’s a little bit of everything. I think when you are open and living your life fully, there will always be something to inspire a song. Finding the time to write is another story. What’s the best advice to give to a musician just starting out? Get to work! What’s your favorite food on the road? I love hearty and healthy salads with a lot of protein. I also love a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. Do you have any touring tips? Get lots of sleep, bring your running shoes, plan ahead, over-plan, work with organized people, and the tour should go smooth. What’s the most frustrating thing about being on the road? Being away form family and friends when someone dies at home. What has been your biggest struggle so far? Finding the resources to do what I want to do creatively. What has been your biggest success? My relationships. Website
