My favorite place to perform, hands down, is definitely Tokyo. I love how my fans over there are always so hype at live shows. Their energy is amazing. In general, I love how supportive that region is to new artists.

In between recording, songwriting and performing, I rarely have any down time. In the event when I do have time, I always find myself indulging in some gaming time on my PlayStation 3.

Good question. It is a lot of fun, but it’s a ton of hard work. As an unsigned artist, I take on the workload of almost every aspect of my show. It takes a lot of time, effort and a great team to make those awesome tour performances and showcases.

When I am asked to open for other established artists, I have to check into hotels under an alias. For example, this one artist, who I shall not name, has a following of loyal, vehement fans who stalk every move of that artist, as well as any supporting acts on the tour. Come to find out, the night of the event, upon arriving at my hotel, this legion of fans had found out my hotel room number, time of arrival and more. So now whenever I am booked as an opener, I have to use an alias upon checking in.

Most recent gigs in: Dallas, Atlanta, Yokohama and Tokyo, Japan, and London.
