What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? I have my godfather to blame! As a wee precocious bairn, I asked him who the four dudes in turtlenecks were hanging on his living room wall, and we were off - not long after that, I had every Beatles bootleg you could find to the point where even today I'll reach for Past Masters over the official mixes. I was always a musical supporter - I ran a concert promotion in high school, and managed a solo artist (the incredible Matt Olsson) for a few years. I never expected to take up music myself. During the first week of lockdown, I woke up at 3am with lyrics in my head. I typed them out on my phone, thinking I'd use them in a short story or even a novel as I've been working on one for the last two years. Then I sung the lyrics out loud- not well, may I add - and The Curse as I call it was bestowed upon me. Over the pandemic, I wrote about 40 songs and in a mad scramble had to learn how to sing (one to three lessons every week) and how to baby-barre on the guitar because I had zero experience doing either. I’m an executive assistant by trade, a job that requires you to have absolutely no ego, and I think that has not only prepared me to collaborate well with my production teams, but to not take any attention that comes my way too seriously.
