While he was studying to receive his psychology degree from the University of British Columbia a dozen years ago, the urge to create, and to share, was eating away at the Burnaby native. With little experience in music at the time, let alone as a songwriter, he suddenly quit school, during his second year, in order to become a full-time musician.
“Music was sort of my outlet for a couple of years, where I would just sit and write songs and neglect any schoolwork that I had in university. Music came to me at a time when my grades were dropping. It just sort of swept over my existence in a very bizarre way that I still can’t really understand.”
It took Fogale years to find his voice as a songwriter. Playing live was his priority early on, and he found gigs playing in hotel bars, pubs, yoga studios, and coffee shops — anywhere he could get work and make a living. Folk music became a reference point, especially Nick Drake’s spare, largely acoustic Pink Moon album from 1972, he said.
