Q: Who are your favourite artists?
A: OMG, hands down Zig and Zag! Those guys are some of the funniest guys I've ever worked with... But seriously I would like to go back in time and work with Natalie Cole again. She sadly isn't with us anymore, I spent some time with her and she was a really incredible human.
Q: If you weren't working in music what would you be doing?
A: Scuba diving or sky diving. I spend a lot of time doing both between gigging. I don't have to answer phone calls or deal with anything, I can just watch the fish and swim around. It's pretty relaxing.
Though honestly, on one sky dive, I felt my phone vibrate and as you do out of habit, I took it out of my sleeve pocket to check. Seriously, at that precise moment, I thought to myself. What the hell am I doing checking my phone at 10,000 ft?! Best put that away.
Q: What would your fantasy mic be?
A: A mic that just does everything is always going to be the one but if you're targeting specific things, I would like a snare mic that comes with a brilliant clamp, and you can just poke the capsule over the side of the snare drum, just the best sounding mic in the world that is unobtrusive.
Q: What are the 4 words you'd choose to describe Aston, or your experience with the brand?
A: Cosmetically pleasing, sonically predictable
Q: What was the first song that made you cry?
A: I'd have to refer to Zig and Zag... "I like to Move it"... Honestly, I don't think I've ever cried to a song! Actually, let me start again. Growing up listening to Richard Clayderman albums, I would have to say from his second album... "Moonlighting".
