How would you describe the music you typically make?

Dark but energetic, grounded but washy.

What’s the best advice you have ever been given?

Just keep going and keep working hard. Never stop.

How do you manage the balance of your personal life with the demands of the band?

I don’t this is my life and I love it.

How do you feel the internet and apps such as TikTok have impacted the music industry in recent years?

I think there was this panic when people in the music industry suddenly didn’t know what songs would be popular. But I think they are starting to realize that doing it the “traditional” way is still the way to go and we’ve seen bands and artists get big with their music and not just TikTok, like Chapel Roan and Fontaines D.C.

What’s your favourite song to perform live, or what is the song you most look forward to playing live in the future?

We love playing “Music For The Kids” because we all get our moments. It’s a song that just has a vibe and keeps going and I love that.

Aside from music, what hobbies or interests do you have?

I’ve always loved filming and taking photos. I just like being involved from the start of a project till the end.

What’s your guilty pleasure song?

“Hand In My Pocket” by Alanis Morissette. But I don’t feel guilty about it; that song is a banger!
