How To Take Care Of A Dog When You’re A Touring Musician
According to Bristol producer and busy guy Julio Bashmore.
Julio Bashmore always wanted a pet dog. Growing up, his aunt had a giant black furry dog called Maisie that he was obsessed with; in 2014, he decided to take the plunge and finally get one of his own. Also giant, black and furry, Bashmore's dog Gryff is a Chow Chow, a pedigree breed originally from northern China, and as you can see from the artist's overflowing Instagram, is outrageously cute.
With Bashmore on the brink of releasing his debut album Knockin' Boots on his own label Broadwalk Records on July 10th, and Gryff on the verge of turning one year old, The FADER spoke to the Bristol-based house producer about how he manages to take care of his best canine friend while also maintaining a globe-trotting schedule. (That's Gryff in the official album trailer via Red Bull, below.) He might be getting up earlier and flashing less cash these days, but it's obvious Bashmore wouldn't swap it for the world.
Get the dog that suits you
Always have someone to take care of the pup if you're on the road
Be prepared to shell out for proper care...
...And for the finest cuisine
And in return, get all the love and inspiration you need to finish that project
