-How did you you first get interested in music?-
“I’ve always had a singing voice, but never took myself seriously until about the age of eighteen. It was then I started to develop a little confidence in myself and reached out to other local musicians and vocalists to try and start a singing group. After years of singing and learning about pitch and tone by ear, I’ve just grown with it.”
