Q: Could you share with us your journey – the good and bad experiences that have brought you to where you are today?

It’s been a really enjoyable journey. I love playing out the crowds and hearing positive reactions to my music. Early days were difficult to get gigs and exposure, but launching our own brand helped with this in the early days. One of the hardest things is dealing with rejection. It takes a lot of no’s to start seeing the positives. But it’s important to stay resiliant and keep working towards the end goal.
