How would you describe yourselves?
Honest and heartfelt songwriting. I wear my many
different influences on my sleeve. My music is brought to life by my fantastic
band.
Who are your main influences musically?
I'd say it's songwriters such as David Gray, John Mayer,
Neil Young and Tom that have the most influence on my music. I'm also a huge
Matt Corby fan. I love timeless songwriting.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
I take things one step at a time but I'm very ambitious
and so are the band. At the moment the next target is to tour the UK in the
summer and to play a few festivals. We'll see where that takes us.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
Releasing an EP and performing it live was a fantastic
experience and me and the band and we really enjoyed the show.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
I honestly can't think of one. I've definitely made
mistakes and I look back at them sometimes but you've just gotta learn from
them and move on as with anything.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
It's difficult to choose as the E.P contains a range of
material but 'Letting you go' would be a good starting point for people who
want to check out my music.

Anything else you’d like to say about your band/music
that I forgot to ask?
Me and the band are currently working on a new EP, which
will be released later this year. We're also going to be touring in the summer.
