What’s your favourite song at the moment?
Oumou Sangare’s Kamelemba.
How do you celebrate a great performance?
I pray that there isn’t a wheel of pizza because after a great show I’m ravenous.
The best place in Toronto to enjoy winter weather is …
Inside my friends’ homes.
What’s the last performance/concert you saw?

Name one other New Constellations artist you think audiences should see during this nationwide tour.
I don’t play favourites. All of them.
Describe the best gig you’ve ever played.
Playing an AroarA show in bright neon lights and no alcohol to poetry enthusiasts at St Mark’s poetry project in NYC.
New Constellations will bring together a lineup of Canada’s Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. Why is that an important feature of this tour to you?
Because it’s a thing that should be happening everywhere on all levels. It’s overdue.

The release of La Force. Touring with Broken Social Scene and the unforeseeable.
