Hiya Baylee, thanks for joining us in the virtual RGM lounge today. Grab a brew and take a seat
What made you decide that music is a thing for you?
Back in 2020 when lockdown hit, i had nothing else to do other than to sit around and listen to music. I then started listening to the likes of The Beatles, Oasis, The Who, Fleetwood Mac etc. It was in that time that i finally decided to buy a guitar and learn it. i haven’t looked back since.
What’s the live music scene like in Liverpool right now? Anyone we should be looking out for?
Well if i can’t say myself then i’d always say Red Rum Club. Even though they are extremely well known around the city, the energy they bring on stage paired with the uniqueness in their instrumental side makes them take the top spot for me.
I’ve seen a lot of people struggling for support recently online. What’s your view on the industry?
My view is you’ve got to get comfortable in the struggle. Making it in music is a long, gruelling, tiring piece of work. you are going to have days where you want to give up, unfortunately that is how it is going to be until you make it. never tell anyone what you are GOING to do. only tell them what you HAVE done. People aren’t going to believe in you and you need to get used to that. Become uncommon amongst uncommon people. If you fall 100 times, get up 101 times and i promise you it will pay off!
Where do you feel you currently sit within the music industry?
I feel that i currently sit somewhere inbetween no one knowing me and everyone knowing me at the same time. i enjoy it here. I’m not a no one, but i am a no one if that makes sense.
Do you ever worry about people taking things the wrong way or cancel culture? Discuss….
Me personally, No. i have learnt to control my words and think before i speak.
Do you sign up to any conspiracy theories? If not, why not?
Yes! I love conspiracy theories. It’s the easiest way to start a conversation. Simply saying “who do you think built the pyramids?” will have you debating a stranger for hours. i personally feel like it is physically impossible for humans to be able to do it. IT HAS TO BE ALIENS!! I can’t get my head around people who think the earth is flat though. I’ve got no time for that conversation.
What was your best experience on stage?
My best experience on stage has to be the first time i played my debut single “Not Turning Back” and everyone started singing it back to me. There’s a video somewhere that someone has got of me smiling ear to ear like a proper weirdo haha.
What was your worst experience on stage?
I actually don’t think i have had one so far, touch wood. Watch me fall off stage on my next gig now.
Tell us something about you that you think people would be surprised about.
I am an extremely introverted person. I don’t socialise much because i am completely and utterly obsessed with staying in on my own and writing my next song. It has gotten to a point where everyone has stopped asking me to go out because they know what the answer will be, and i wouldn’t change it for the world!
What are the next steps you plan to take to reach the next level?
Just to keep going to be honest. Like i said earlier i don’t like saying what im going to do. I feel like everytime i have in the past i am running off a dopamine hit that never fully seems to come. Just by sitting back and doing everything behind closed doors, taking each day as it comes and putting in the work, i have found it to be much more rewarding for me mentally. Expect nothing. Accept everything.
I hear you have new music. What can you tell us about it?
Yes! My new song “Robyn” is out on all platforms as we speak!
The start of this song was written about creating scenarios in your head about someone you’ve personally never met. It’s an exercise in creativity, often driven by curiosity, empathy, or even a desire to understand or predict others behaviors.
It’s about how these kind of scenarios made the person feel more connected to the world around them, even if they don’t actually know the individual involved. It’s a way to process the complexity of human interaction, even if it’s all hypothetical.
The second half explains the feeling of finally meeting the person after imagining or speculating about them for so long, and how the relationship you build up mentally for so long just didn’t align up the same when it came to reality.
It’s about how even though you want to stay with them in the heat of the moment forever. You know you need to leave otherwise it will only hurt you more.
What was the recording process like?
It was really fun actually! I thoroughly enjoy all my recording sessions truthfully. We all know how and when to have a laugh, but also know how and when to take it seriously. One minute we are friends, the next we are business partners. It’s a very healthy relationship to have with your producer i feel.
What was the biggest learning curve in writing the new tunes?
The biggest learning curve for me was realising that i had to experience life to be able to write about it. I personally can’t make up lyrics in my songs. Every single word i write down on a piece of paper is something i will have experienced in the real world. Some lyrics may be happy, other lyrics may be darker. It just depends on what mood i am in when i sit down and begin writing.
Is there anything else you would like to share with the world?
Lidl avacados are way too hard! You WILL chop into your hand while trying to cut them open.
