Q) What is your song writing process? Do you need music before you can create lyrics?

 

A) Usually I hear the music first, I become inspired by the guitar. Then, the band and I start to write the lyrics. However, there are some rare occasions where the lyrics come to me first.

A) The production is usually handled by the band.

 

Q) Your EP Unearthed came out in 2021. Will there be a full up album or EP coming in the near future?

Q) Where are some of your favorite places to perform and what makes those locations so significant to you?
