Tell us about yourself and how you got into music
My dad has always been a music head, so I had soul, funk, pop, rock, and jazz as a steady soundtrack to my life from day one. I started with instruments at the age of 4 and went on to singing at age 13.
So how have you kept busy during the last year or so
Just singing, writing, producing and performing.
What’s the inspiration behind ‘Can’t Go Home‘
Hmmmm There is no specific inspiration other than it was what we were feeling. When sequenceprogram sent me the track so I could start writing to it .. I immediately heard what would end up being the chorus. The ideas just jumped at me and we got the songwriting done quite quickly. Sometimes you just feel it right away.
Tell us about your writing and recording process, what instruments, hardware or software to you use.
I write and record from my Studio in Münich, Sequenceprogram is based in L.A., he does all the instrumental parts and production, and Qwestlife rocked the remix straight out of London. International Goodness.

Streaming is the way of the world, it’s the most convenient but downloads/ purchases help the artists a bit more. (Listen to Mishell’s promo playlist here)
