“Being a songwriter/musician is about wearing all the hats and having to be very focused not just on the music you want to make, but also about all of the other things as well… when it’s coming out, how it’s coming out, what that looks like and so on,” he muses. “Having time away from making music is just as important to me as it often provides that down time where there’s no pressure on you. You can listen to that music you wanted to, read that book, all the stuff which in turn inspires you to make more yourself.”
Despite the recent pickup of activity in his city, Liam didn’t find it difficult to adopt to a slower pace of creative work.

With the omnipresent nature of online work during the lockdowns, I was really craving that sort of disconnection. It was great to just relax and really focus on the sounds around me.”
