What high school did you go to?

Coronado.

What’s your favorite local venue to play — and why?

Depends on the event. I liked playing at Malolam because people were going crazy.

If you had to describe your sound without using a genre label, what would you say?

Alternative.

What do you do when the song isn’t coming — push through, scrap it or something else?

I usually just move on and do this process until I finish a song.

If someone is seeing you live for the first time, what should they expect?

It will be chill.  Hopefully the music will connect with you.
