TELL US ABOUT A CAREER HIGHLIGHT YOU HAD IN 2025
The Smith Street tour in general was very special, really got along great with the whole crew and they were so easy to tour with. Very cool to sing with Wil every night
WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF NEW MUSIC
Don’t believe what they’re selling you on the AI slop, music and art is good and healthy and there’s an abundance of incredible artists and art out there ready to be discovered, listen to as much new music as you can. Branch out of what Spotify recommends to you, sit with an album for a couple hours, decipher it and learn about it

BEST ADVICE GOING INTO 2026
Make music, make terrible music and mediocre music and good music and make as much as you can until you burn yourself out and get back up and do it again. Don’t stop writing
