- When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?
Playing Gavroche in my home towns community production of les mis.
- When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?
I used to buy the songbooks of composers I liked and play them whenever I got the chance. I’ve written songs my whole life but it took me a long time to put the two together.
- How do you describe your style/work?
I would say my work is youthful and energetic. I come from a background of performing in musical theater and I’ve found it really helpful to be able to look at a song as a musician and an actor.
- What is most rewarding to you about writing music?
I have struggled often in my life to be able to express myself in words. Writing songs allows me to say the things that I wouldn’t know how in every day life.
