Supastars Online Magazine: Did the pandemic affect you when it comes to your music and what you do as an artist?
PJ Dakota: Yes it affected me as an artist. I was laid off from work and now told not to go outside or do anything. For the first two months I became depressed. I had no energy or desire to do any music or anything. I was so used to being out networking and performing and being in the studio. Here I was with my project not done needing to be mixed and mastered but everything was closed. But then I found a studio that was open and I got back to it and started working on my project again. So now I’m in the studio getting CD finalized and I got the call to do the Just Skate song. Loving the final version of the song we decided to put it on the project and we’ve been moving ever since. So now just getting things ready for when this Covid pandemic is behind us or alleast to a point where we can get back to performing and traveling and doing music.
