Who is Terry Jack Eddy... Not too much to say unfortunately. It's very early days and I'm still finding my feet. What I can say is that this project is another side of me to express and I'm looking forward to exploring that more.
I sound like... I always find this difficult. I honestly don't know who I sound like. I try not to sound like anyone really. I've written so many songs that go down a different path, I find this hard to answer.
When did you settle on the group's name, and was it a unanimous decision... I settled on this while listening to a podcast. I heard the guest say Gary Busey's stage name as a drummer back in the '70s or something was 'Terry Jack Eddy'. This guy is so chaotic and I just felt like it was right to adopt that name.
In the studio I usually... Find one piece of music that I can fall in love with and roll with it from there.
If I could tour with anyone... My favourite band is Queens Of The Stone Age. Though I doubt they would take me on as a support, I'd love to hang with them.
Social media is... Necessary but the bane of my existence. I love the opportunity it presents but I hate the negative impact it has on society and its necessity for today's world of business. In saying that, it has been very good to me, so go figure.
My favourite app at the moment is... Hahaha, as I write this I feel the last question hitting me over the head. BUT! TikTok has some amazing content. When you sift through the bullsh.t you can find some real gold.
To date, my most embarrassing moment was the time... Releasing my first track. I already look at it thinking why? Too soon I think, but that's like every creative endeavour. It's the road we take.
If you'll have me on your bill, all I ask is that the rider contains... A bottle of red. Nothing fancy.
What celebrity/ famous person would you love to be your spokesperson... Christopher Walken. No one delivers like him!
If you had to live in a city abroad, where would you choose and why? I don't have a wealth of overseas travel under my belt, but I did love Spain. There's definitely a certain energy I was picking up on over there that I think I could vibe with.
Three people you'd like to invite around for a dinner party... Steve-O, Duncan Trussell and Russell Brand. I'd love to just sit down with these guys and talk spirituality.
If we were coming over to your place, what would you cook us? I can cook some pretty mean chicken wings and garlic pizza.
When it comes to pets are you a lover or hater of our furry friends? I'm a lover, but you need a backyard for these guys. No apartment dogs.
No matter the expense, send me a case of... Maxibons.
The last time I saw the inside of a gym was... I go every day. Healthy body, healthy mind, great for creativity.
What's the one chore you dislike the most? Bills. I feel like that's a chore.
Do you have any phobias? Not a big fan of answering private numbers. I don't like not knowing who's on the other side. I'd love to know why I have this phobia myself.
Would you ever partake in a reality show? No way haha! These shows are cringe.
If you could prank any of your friends, who's your target, and how are you bringing them down? My housemate. It's a matter of time before he gets me, so I gotta be first. I don't know how yet, but he'll never see it coming that's for sure.
Best local takeaway joint for a 2am feed that will leave you with a food coma? Man, these guys aren't open at 2am but there's this place called Little L's and they make the best chicken burger I've ever had. Highly recommend.
Which fictional character best describes your personality? I find it hard to answer these questions about yourself. Your view could be so different from how you really are.
Maybe Terry from 'Brooklyn 99'. Not in the buff sense, but more in the sense that he's a little insecure but pulls through when he needs to. Terry also loves yoghurt and we have that in common.
Last show you binge-watched (and what kept you glued to the screen)? 'Kid Cosmic'! I love cartoons and this show did it for me. It's got the right amount of everything. Space. Cosmic powers. Ridiculous storyline, but I love the narrative. Hanging for season 2.
