Quiet moment of Breath of Fire, well at least I make an attempt to get centered, but sometimes it goes the other way.

Favourite local musician:

I have always loved Strange Advance. I have great respect for our local upcoming singer songwriters who are putting it out there. It takes courage.

Doesn’t matter as long as the songs are engaging.

Early bird or night owl?

Definitely a vampire.

Road or studio?

I love recording new songs most of all. But nothing really can compete with live performance. So both.

Currently finishing up a new album and cannot wait to release it. Will be thrust out later this year. Tim and I (Steinruck Anet) have released our first single. We are so proud of our creation, “Atmosphere”. I will be releasing a new single in the coming months as a precursor to the upcoming album.
