I have a Fender buttercream P Bass that has traveled the world with me on Avril Lavigne’s tours. The bass was even used during a live broadcast of Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2019. I’d be happy to see it on the GMM set!! 💯💯🎸🎸
I love when throwback photos are sent my way! This was from three-and-a-half years ago already?? 😱😱 And to be heading to Europe to be on another tour with her, my emotions are all out of whack! 💖💖 My excitement each day is the same from Day 1. Honestly! Tweet Tweet
Shoutout to an amazing first leg of the Greatest Hits Tour!! 🎸🎉💯💯💕 Enjoy the rare documented footage of me on stage wearing a short-sleeve shirt because it was over 100° in Phoenix and I would have died in a jacket 🔥🔥🤣🤣See ya in Europe!! Tweet Tweet ✈️🌎🌍🌏

Performing in Poland was very special to me. My mother’s dream is to visit there! Her family comes from Poland, her grandparents spoke Polish to her while she was growing up! Be sure to give her the same rock-star treatment when she visits! 🙏🙏💖💖🇵🇱🇵🇱 Tweet Tweet
Poland, that was a beautiful show. There have only been a handful of shows that have ever made me emotional on stage. Tonight, seeing the entire arena lit up with cellphones before Head Anove Water- truly amazing! Love love. Tweet Tweet 😭😭💕💕🇵🇱🇵🇱🙏🙏
Growing up in Buffalo I always had access to Canadian radio stations, TV stations and pop culture. I remember getting so excited for the
@TheJUNOAwards
each year. It is
a dream come true to be performing live on The Junos with Avril Lavigne tonight!! Tweet tweet. 💜💜🇨🇦🇨🇦
Complicated is 20 years old today! Never thought when I heard it on the radio back then that I’d be performing the song with her as part of her band! 💜💜🎉🎉🙏🙏 Tweet Tweet
Ok, I drank so much Guaraná Antarctica backstage my heart rate went up to 122 BPM before I even took the stage. But I mean, when in Brazil, am I right?? Tweet tweet 🇧🇷🇧🇷💜💜
Coming Soon!! Be sure to check out this podcast interview I did for my hometown radio station! I talked about touring as a bassist, South America 🇵🇪 🇧🇷, learning Japanese 🇯🇵 and how I got started with music! Love you!! Tweet tweet!! 💗💗🙏🙏🏈🏈
