Describe what you do for a living? What does a typical day look like for you?

I’m a writer and artist to most, and singer/songwriter to those closest to me. My day is a lot of running around, and staggering meetings with snacking.

What was some advice you wish you were given when starting out?

Once a stranger punched me at the supermarket. It’s never a bad time to hear how you need to be absolutely true to yourself because even people who don’t know you want to kick your ass at times.

What’s your favourite Brie Leon piece (and why)?

It’s impossible to choose but I’d like to see them get into fine jewellery.

What are you reading, listening to and watching at the moment?
I love How to with Jon Wilson, anything and everything Prince, bell hooks and  whatever my friends are listening to...

What’s something exciting that’s coming up for you in the next couple of months?
I’ll be working on a new show soon...

Thank you Jo! @justjorosenthal
