I wasn’t really focused on music when Tim & Jean finished up around 2012... I kind of wanted to find myself, travel and experience different things before I could make music on my own again. It's nice to be back at it again. 

I remember loving it as a kid because my mum always played it. I chose to cover it because it felt nostalgic to me and I wanted to try something different with the sounds and vocal performance. I haven’t really heard any other versions other than the original but yeah it’s my interpretation of the song and I’m happy with the way it turned out.

Most of the inspiration comes from travel and experiencing new places and meeting new people which has helped me evolve as an artist. Modern Life encapsulates that experience.

I tend to gravitate toward things that remind me of the good times and people I love to share those good times with. The nostalgic retro sound is just me trying to interpret those feelings into music. Modern Life is my favourite song on the EP that probably has something to do with it, but I think it mostly sums up the EP in a swift phrase.

Thank you, I’m not really great at any of those interments, to be honest. I honestly have great people I work with who can help bring my ideas to life or re-play my bad demo recordings and turn them into something special. Shouts out to Tij (Tobias Priddle).

’d known of Kitsuné for a while and was always intrigued by their releases and loved what they did. I think I hustled someone at the label to listen to my badly made demos and they got back saying that they loved them but if they could hear something more finished (laughs). Now we are into our second EP. I love them, they’re my French family.

It was great, I really love the idea of people coming together and creating new alternatives to performing live. Especially to a completely new audience. I commend the organisers for making it happen.
To be honest, I’m not exactly sure how to tackle the whole pandemic thing I guess we take it day by day, week by week and kinda see how we go… Music is hard enough to promote anyway but I think there are some new innovative ways to get your music out there which is still makes it worth it.

I give all the credit to the Kitsuné team for the first EP and to a Melbourne local Garreth Pearse for the Modern Life artwork, he’s a genius and a joy to work with. I’m definitely getting the artwork framed for the studio. 

It's hard to say my dream collab there are so many. If the Gods allowed it, I would love to create with fellow Australians Kirin J Callinan, Jack Ladder, Donny Benet, Spectator, Kesmar and Deep Faith.
Also American artists Weyes Blood, The Lemon Twigs and, of course, Canadian/Californian Mac Demarco to name a few.

There are a few things in the works but, yeah, just stoked to release the EP and hopefully play some gigs soon!
