I wanted to be in their shoes…not literally. What was your favorite part…

What was the experience of creating “Sunday Afternoon”, and can you walk us through your songwriting process? I was working on my album, sitting at my piano and the extremely rough idea for the song started to come through. I began mouth syllables for the lyrics.

Can you describe the meaning behind your artist name Life Change? How does it relate to the music you make? “Life Change” is how I’ve grown up during the difficult times of my life circle – how my situation was changing from who are you, to how are you.

What do you hope Sonarpilot’s music creations bring to the world? There’s a lovely quote by Albert Einstein: “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed”.
