8. Is the opening track "Diamond Falls" a follow up to your 2017 single "Before the Diamonds?"
Great question but no it's not, “Diamond Falls” is the name of a tropical paradise I created in my head. It is the theme I used to build “Lost In Paradise”.
9. What are some policies you have in place as King?
Never shy away from the things that bring you true happiness and never let the opinions of those who doubt themself create disbelief within you.
10."Chopsticks" is your latest single. On it you talk about being apart like chopsticks. Was this single inspired by actual events?
We have all at some point experienced the toxic events that can occur in a relationship. Walking away from these types of situations can be difficult but necessary. I just related the feeling of walking away and its long term benefits to a pair of chopsticks. For example chopsticks are meant to be separated, and once they are apart they can be used to feed the body.

Pop Punk EP “Shows Over” coming to all platforms 2023
