It can be applied to any situation in today\u2019s world, but at that point, I was just overthinking things in my own life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s one thing in your life- something really simple \u2013 that you struggle to make sense of?<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sometimes I find it hard to understand people. I always seem to overthink, more so than other people. So that\u2019s something that\u2019s never made sense to me. But I suppose, that\u2019s what makes me write and make music in the first place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How would you describe your sound? Would you say its evolved in any way?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Melancholic, honest, folk. The genre is always a hard one, but folk. I think I\u2019m always evolving as a writer. I\u2019m constantly learning and changing. The song I wrote when I was 18 years old is very different from what I write today because I\u2019m growing constantly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>You grew up in Spain, do your Spanish roots make their way into your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, before I moved to London, I grew up in Spain, so it has definitely found its way into my music. I don\u2019t sing in Spanish, but the influence still exists.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Who would say are your major musical influences?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, who I listen to a lot back home. But also newer bands, like The National.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s a really memorable moment in your career so far? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently, I played at a festival in Holland called EuroSonic. It was my first time playing abroad. The venue and the crowds were amazing. It was a great experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What&#8217;re your favourite venues among the ones you\u2019ve played at?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There\u2019s this venue, in Barcelona, that I\u2019ve played a couple of times. It used to be called Apollo Two, but I think they\u2019ve changed the name now. It\u2019s not huge, but it just creates this vibe that everyone is so close to each other. Like there\u2019s no space between you and the audience, it makes the experience even better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Do you have a personal favourite song that you enjoy performing live?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My favourite changes a lot. Currently, my favourite song is a new song I just wrote- that doesn\u2019t have a title yet. My songs are my favourite when they are fresh, but once I start playing them a lot, I bored and need to find new meanings to those songs. So new songs, in general, are my favourite to perform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s one question that you wished you were asked in an interview, but you\u2019ve never been asked? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s a hard one! Maybe, why I make music in the first place? When you\u2019re a musician, \u00a0and you get interviewed, people rarely ask why I am a musician. They just take that part for granted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>So why do you make music then?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Music for me is like therapy. It\u2019s something I want to do in my life, no matter what.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>If you weren\u2019t a musician what do you think you\u2019d be doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, I\u2019m still a student, so if I weren\u2019t doing music, I\u2019d probably get into academic research. Who knows, I might still do that someday. But it definitely wouldn\u2019t be something as creative or open as music is for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s one song on your playlist that\u2019s been on repeat and stuck in your head, recently? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There&#8217;s this song by Rae Morris called &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B075CT9XG1\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1634&amp;creative=6738&amp;creativeASIN=B075CT9XG1&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=essentiallypo-21&amp;linkId=04d0eb648a4d5c32b943749f0a2e0041\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Do It<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=essentiallypo-21&amp;l=am2&amp;o=2&amp;a=B075CT9XG1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/>&#8216;.
