Questions And Answers
Q - How would you describe your new album Take Me Back To Simple?
A - I honestly don't know, Each song follows on from one another and are all different genres of music, so it's hard to describe this set of songs.
Q - Have you always been interested in music? Was there a particular song/performance that made you say "Woah! I want to do that!"?
A - I have always loved music, always knew i wanted to write my own music and perform too. I have always struggled with confidence and stage fright but i always remember going to see Shakin Stevens when i was about 4/5 and i always wanted the denim jackets etc to be like him. But growing up and going on UK holiday breaks we used to go see the live music shows, i always knew from watching them i wanted to do that.
Q - What does your album say about you?
A - The album shows my most vulnerable sides (Bottle And Sad Songs) but also the most confident too, I have tried new things in a few songs especially with Ghost Town
Q Why this Album? Why now?
A - I haven't really wrote any songs for years, i did release my Christmas song for 2020 - When Christmas Comes Around but i apart from that not really had interest in doing anything until October 2020 when i started work on Take Me Back To Simple - I was going to release 4/5 songs but then when i reached 5 songs i just wanted to keep writing as i felt i had more to say and ended up with 12.
Q - What are your plans for any future releases?
A - I do want to release at least one more song from this album as a single and have a video shot for it too, i know exactly what i want and the style of video etc and hopefully will start work on it once we come out of lockdown.

Q - What are your ambitions as a songwriter and musician from here?
A - I want to work on getting this album heard and out there as much as possible, as i honestly think it deserves to be heard, there will be at least one song on the album someone will like as like i said each song has a different vibe to it.
