| How did you begin making music? Who introduced you? My family was really musical, and I got into in when I was about 5 years old |

| What is your creative process? Watching Britney's/Christina's videos, getting ideas, trying to make ideas my own... |
| When do you have your most lucid moments, in the morning or night? Definately the night. I'm a total nightowl |
| Have you ever awoken with a melody created from your dreams? Doesn't really happen with what I do - but I do write my own songs - yep - they come to me mostly in the shower! |
| How do you know when a song is finished or needs no more changes? When I look at it the next day and am still as excited about it as when I first wrote it... |
| What part of your job is your least favourite? Putting up and packing up the PA system...and driving to gigs. |
