MP: Could you tell us a little about your musical background?
EH: As far back as I remember, I was exposed to a lot of music, particularly jazz. My dad was a big jazz fan, and he would always have jazz playing in the house or on car journeys. So, I remember being very curious about music from a young age, way before I ever picked up an instrument. Dad also played drums most of his life, as well as singing in a tribute band to The Police.
I started playing bass guitar when I was 11 or 12. My brother was having regular drum lessons around that time. He used to attend a youth club after school where you could meet and collaborate with other musicians, and I was always interested in what he was up to. Then, one Christmas, I decided I wanted to start playing something, and I was drawn to how the bass looked and sounded. Thankfully, my parents were supportive and could afford to buy me one.
