The first gig we ever played was in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I'm from. I was in a band called the October Game, and we opened up for a Vancouver band.
Surfing is my passion because I love being active on the water.
Time is a beautiful thing. It's like when you meet an old lover on the street six years later and they don't look so ugly anymore.

I think often sadness is a great place to get songs from.

I don't think about what other people want from me.

I play piano every day.
I sort of feel like music saved my life when I was young. This is the one thing that I knew I was good at.
I was a pretty insecure kid, didn't have a lot of friends, and was picked on a lot, and music gave me confidence.
