 Music ended my life being a kid because my parents always had music playing in the house. I had a drew box. The music was just around us, even though they don't play any instrument themselves. And I started with a violin at the age of five. And then I think I just kept on doing this. Pretending to favorite at some point, I just switched to guitar. I said, I want to do this. Not sure everyone knows that place about that, but I made my mind up. It's perfect. It gives me the perfect tone that I need to add, whether I need to add anything on top or create a sound that I really trust. I'd probably be like a creepy scholar, still studying history. Or maybe a summer day, because I like wine. The clarity of the sound, the tone, allows me to get a good sound without having to blast everyone's ears away. Because it's there. It's right there at the beginning. I tried them, and then I loved them. It was quite a natural switch. I was presenting something I hadn't really tried before, and it worked really well. Sometimes you don't really choose what you're going to play through. You just, it works. It's like a good match. I'd suggest just listen to as much music as possible, and then once you've finished listening, see what you can remember and play again. Keep on doing what you love, and if you love it, I do think you get something. Hearing bands write errors missing and wanting to be like them, and then songs, like hearing amazing songs and wanting to write songs as good as Paul Simon or as good as Prince, or as good as Steven Tyler, or as good as Paul. Well, Blackstar, as a new band, has supported us so much. The thing about Blackstar as a company is how much they support young artists, new artists. People are just sort of dipping their toes in the world of rock and roll and music, and they've been so brilliant for us as a band, so why would I choose anything else? I have things that I need to say, and music is the way that I need to say it, and that excites me to excite people to music. Right, warm-ups before the show. Don't include vocal warm-ups. Do include whiskey. Don't include physical stretches. Do include chanting before we go on stage. I'm currently playing the Blackstar Artist 15, and I'm absolutely enjoying the hell out there. The best piece of advice, if I am a musician to give any kind of advice, is work hard and be the best version of you that you can be. And if you don't succeed, try, try there.
