>>>My friends my enemies, and anything out of the ordinary that comes my way.
Music Now: Who was your role model? And why?
>>>I never really had a role model growing up, I always rooted for the
Underdog though. I tried to learn from anyone that succeeded against the odds, it’s very respectable.
Music Now: Was being a musician your first choice of profession? If not, what
profession would you try and pursue?
>>>I originally planned on becoming an animator, but that wasn't meant to happen.
Music Now: Do you believe in keeping the best equipment there is or working to
play the best you can with what you have?
>>>You must always use the resources around you. Work with what you have.
That being said I also believe it’s important not to cheap out.
Music Now: Which do you value more: staying true to the song or expressing
yourself, even if it means making some slight changes to the melody?
>>>I feel staying true to a song is expressing yourself. But I try not to analyze the creative process.
Music Now: If you were not making (your current genre of) music, what other genre
(folk/rap/whatever) would you be doing?
>>>Country Celtic Music!
Music Now: Were you interested in music when you were younger? Like, were you in
the marching band or choir when you were in high school? Were you
active in things like school musicals? If were in the band, what
instrument did you play?
>>> In grade 8th, I played the upright bass, it was twice as tall as me. It was a really rough experience..
Music Now: Do you have any advice for other musicians?
>>>I don't feel I'm in a position to give advice, I'm not an experienced guru by any means. I'm still learning day by day through success and mistakes. My only advice would be to keep an open mind and learn.
Music Now: Would you rather make music for fame or for the music itself?
>>> For me it’s a mix of both, fame is a goal but it’s not "the goal" I want to have the best songs possible, and I want people to feel like they are a part of my music.
Music Now: Who is the most influential person in your music career?
>>>Dave Thompson.

Music Now: Does it ever freak you out when kids idolize you, claim they love you,
obsess over your lyrics and so on?
>>>No it doesn't. I'm happy to hear people relate to my music.
Music Now: Why do you choose to play music instead of some other art?
>>>I enjoy making visual art pieces as well as music. I enjoy things like photography and film.
Music Now: Any last thoughts as that you would like to share with Junior's Cave
audience?
