1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to sip on while they listen to your new music?
My drink recommendation while listening to my new song would be a really cold bottle of Coke.
2.Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
I’m currently releasing songs from my upcoming EP (the name is still a secret) and booking a small tour for early next year. I’m a completely independent artist, doing everything on my own. While putting out new music and booking shows, I’m also writing and recording new material in the studio.
3. Name 5 things we all should know about you as a band?!
1. A fan once told me that my music sounds like a mix of The Gaslight Anthem and City and Colour. Funny enough, those are actually two of my favorite bands, and I love that my inspiration comes through so clearly.
2. I’m a singer-songwriter from Wiesbaden, writing songs about any topic that holds an interesting story.
3. I also perform with a live band made up of my closest friends.
4. I Taught myself guitar and singing — so if it sounds a bit rough, that’s probably why haha.
5. I released my first LP back in 2023 with the help of my fans. They supported me through crowdfunding, and we raised around €10,000 in just six weeks. That was insane.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
Probably Patagonia mixed with Carhartt and Vans I gues
5. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)
Money’s just paper with numbers on it.
6. If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
That hard work and talent get the reward they deserve!
If you have enough money, you can essentially buy social media reach. This means that big labels and wealthy individuals have a better chance than DIY artists with no budget. They tell you that „everyone“ can go viral on TikTok for example, but the truth is that the industry is generating „viral songs“ time and time again, while small indie artists are waiting for their „golden ticket“.
7. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
Basically, I write about the important things in my life, and the struggles and joys I experience as I journey through life. Depression, Love, Death, Self-Doubt, Friendship… You know, the easy topics.. For example, my latest single, ‚White Light‘, is about the writer’s block I experienced after releasing my first LP.
8. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
What is your greatest fear?
My greatest fear is realizing at the end of my life that I didn’t do things because I was afraid of what others might think. Even today, I often let myself and my self-doubts hold me back, and I get annoyed about it. I find the idea of having ruined the most wonderful things for myself because of my own fear terrible.
