Why this name?
"Parents kinda gave it to me at birth"
Do you play live?
I play at open mics and the occasional gig. Really miss playing weekly which I got to do in Ireland. I'm too busy at the moment with evening lectures for Uni, and working days! There have been lots of special moments!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes it a global open-mic night. Everyone can offer stuff, and everyone can listen. There's nothing like getting feedback from ppl that don't know you, or know where you're coming from. That's truth.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably. Need the cash ;)

Your influences?
This is tough to answer. I've listened to everything from jazz, classical, blues to grunge, indie, brit-pop to folk. Anna Lee, Ebby Brett, The Frames, Mundy, Martin Finke, Nina Hynes and lots more great Irish music deserves a mention
Favorite spot?
The Spanish Arch in Galway can have a great vibe. Loved Paris and Rome, and Pula in Croatia. Had fun there
