Live show ritual:
Before any event, I take a few minutes where I listen to Lucky songs such as Three Little Birds by Bob Marley. It helps me to get in the zone, to get in the Character prior to getting on the stage. I also stretch and hug a group when I’m performing with my teammates. This is the best medicine to get into the zone for me.
Favourite local musician:
Billy Bishop, Mr. Blanco, Sammy B and Andrex. I personally like their motivation and how dedicated and humble they are to the craft. Their songs are motivating and inspiring.
