Name, where are you from?
Hale Sheffield from Brooklyn NY.

Describe your style in three words?
Effortless, fun, summer.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
When I was nine with my best friend (and our parents). We went to a Hannah Montana concert and it was my very first concert and a memory I’ll cherish forever.

If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
Frank Ocean and Whitney Houston, Mainly so I could just listen to their music in the crowd haha.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
When I was younger I went to Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls and that allowed me to be influenced by some phenomenal pop-punk bands and I don’t think that’s ever left me. 

Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
The first show I ever “played” was at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg and while I was much younger and it wasn’t about me specifically, it made me absolutely fall in love with performing.
