Where are you currently based? I'm currently based in Melbourne, Australia. How did you first start playing music? I started playing guitar when I was super young so that has always been my go to and saviour. Throughout high school I then played in a few different bands and once I finished, I started touring the country so it all evolved from there! What's been happening recently? I've been tucked away making the most of this funny time, working on more new music and staying as productive as can be. You have created a new reimagined version of your single 'Fall Down' how and why did this come about? After Fall Down came out on April 23rd I dropped a music video, behind the scenes video of how this was put together and after that I released a LIVE performance video of the track to give my listeners an insight into what my shows will look like! As the original is quite upbeat and boppy I wanted to show off the song in its most raw and emotional form.  Please describe the process that you went through: I started by jamming the track out with me and my guitar, figured out the arrangement and took it to the coolest looking roller rink in town - the rest was history.  Please tell us why it's important to you that artists put out proper live performances that expose the artist in their true form, especially in this current COVID19 period:  I think it's important for artists to be putting out live performances that expose them in their truest colours. (Especially in this time when proper live shows have been taken away from us.) I think it's a lot easier these days to hide behind clean cut production than ever before and nothing can match or be exactly re-created in a live performance setting - it's going to be different every time and that's the beauty of it. What do you like to do away from music? I love training, fitness, sport - anything that gets me outside and pushes me physically! So great to keep my head in check.  Who are you listening to at the moment? Getting a workout at the moment is Lauv's new 'Without You' EP, a heap of Machine Gun Kelly & the new Bring Me The Horizon track 'Parasite Eve' - it SLAMS! What are you working on currently? I've been working away on my live set behind the scenes as well as planning and putting together a pretty special music video for my next single that will be filmed in a few weeks time! What's planned for 2020? At this stage i'm aiming to have a couple more tracks out before the year is done and ideally be back on the touring circuit depending on how everything goes live music wise! Favourite food and place to hangout? A tricky one! I think right now my favourite food is from a Vietnamese restaurant called Typhoon in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne - incredible. As far as places to hangout, I’ve always felt right at home near the ocean. So I love doing any sort of activity where I'm close to or in view of the water. I think good company comes before location though so I could literally be anywhere in the world and be super happy with my best mates around me.   http://lakelend.com.au
