Hi Patrick Harris, thanks for joining us! Let’s get into it:

19

Where were you born?

Adelaide, Australia

Where did you grow up?

Adelaide

How did that place influence your music? (if at all!)

There isn’t a lot to do in Adelaide so we would spend most of our days writing and playing music.

Where are you based now, and why?

London, we moved here for more opportunity in the music industry.

What got you into making music in the first place?

The both of us were just always in love with the idea of music and everything that comes with it, more so neither of us want to work jobs that don’t involve performing music.

What instrument/s do you play?

Singing, Guitar

Who would be in your top 10 musical influences, and why?

Stevie Ray Vaughn , Jeff Buckley, Eric Clapton. They are all instantly recognisable in the style they play and that creativity and ability to stand out really inspires us.

Do you write your own songs?

Yes

How many years have you been writing songs for?

4+

What process, or processes, do you often find yourself using when you write songs?

Jack will come to Patrick with a cool guitar idea that has been mostly fledged out or have a lot of different parts. Following that Patrick will write the lyrics and then tweaks will be made to the song in accordance.

We want to perform
