What is the most adventurou­s thing you have done that has taken you out of your comfort zone at the time?

-

Both my mother and grandmothe­r. My grandmothe­r just turned 80 and still does all her own maintenanc­e at the house. She even lays down bricks and mortar. She’s an artist as well and has a keen eye for the interestin­g and beautiful things in life. She’s awesome.

What’s your most embarrassi­ng moment?

I seemed to be constantly embarrasse­d around the age of 14, but a recent moment was when I did my Silver Scroll performanc­e and for some reason, as I started, no sound came out, and I was just standing in front of everyone not knowing what to do. So I just struck a pose.

What is your most prized material possession?

Probably Lola (my MPC, which I make music on). I think travelling to new places, especially internatio­nally, is both adventurou­s and sometimes terrifying - especially if it’s a place unlike any you’ve ever been to before.

What gets your back up?

Gripping wet door handles.

If you could time travel, where would you go and why?

I would go to 19th century P.E Island in Canada, so I could live the Anne of Green Gables lifestyle.

What life lesson would you pass on to your children?

Resilience.

What job would you do other than your own and why?

I wouldn’t mind being an astronaut. ❚ My Design, On Others’ Lives
