Q&A / sftspkn

What is your favorite season and why?

• I’d have to say that there’s something kinda perfect about summer. I get a bit nostalgic remembering when I was a kid looking forward to the end of school and the start of summer vacation. Even now I still look forward to the warm weather and long days. Being able to wear a t-shirt out is another bonus!

​

What inspires you the most? Why?

• I’m not sure if I can put the things that inspire me in any particular order, but live music holds a special place. There’s so much work behind the scenes that goes into planning a live performance. And on the other side of it, being in a crowd of people that came together to see this show can be exhilarating when the energy is right. 

​

If you could relive one moment in your life, which would it be?

• There are small victories that I would love to relive, but a couple years ago I experienced one of the most perfect sunsets by the beach. It felt like I was looking out into the edge of the world and the ocean stretched out forever. From time to time I still find myself thinking about that sunset, so probably that.

​

In the last five years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life?

• Listening to my mom’s advice? All jokes aside, I’m learning to be a kinder person to myself. It’s always going to be a work in progress, but it’s crazy to see how a simple change in perspective can improve my mood and overall life.

​

How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard it before?

• Instrumental tracks, usually guitar-driven. I’m never quite sure of what will come out when I sit down in front of the DAW. Sometimes it’s sleepy, and at other times it’s much more upbeat. I think the most distinctive element of my music is my guitar playing. It’s the closest thing I have to a style, and I like to think that it makes my tracks unique
