Tell us about your latest release.
My latest release 'Purified' captures a combination of my grunge and indie influences. It's a bit of an epic tune if I’m honest and not one for the impatient as it’s a good seven and a half minutes long! A lot of work and effort went into the track and it was the song that took me to the next step in terms of recruiting management. Expect more colossal tracks like this on my debut album which unfortunately I am still waiting to start recording due to Covid...
What do you have coming up?
Big things are happening in 2021. I’m playing at one of the most important and biggest winter festivals for rock music in Germany, recording my debut album with a grammy winning producer, releasing my first singles from the debut album and doing my first dates in the North of England
