In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember when I was younger my Dad owned a stereo store, and I would sit in the back of this decked out Lamborghini with the best sound system that the store had and listen to all types of music from the 70s/80s and 90s What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Drake, Nothing Was the Same (Deluxe) Elvis Presley, Elvis 30 #1 Hits (Expanded Edition) Taking Back Sunday, Tell All Your Friends (20th Anniversary Edition) This Taking Back Sunday album shaped me as a teen, I was so connected to the angsty, moody vibe. Also HUGE Drake fan, this album separated him from the competition. Elvis always reminds me of my Dad & driving around in his 87 Chevy learning to sing Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Ride” As much as I love my new pop, punk & emo sound, the song 'Ride' has a certain significance. It was the first time I ventured to Toronto to record in a professional studio & took the leap into taking music seriously - its underrated imo. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? It’s all been so crazy. I’m a small town guy who's been doubted & told I couldn’t do it for a long time, so every win feels significant. But getting an MTV premiere was unreal. I grew up with MTV & MUCH so now having been on both is pretty damn cool Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Hell yeah. Everything. I can’t wait for people to be screaming my lyrics back at me. My bucket list is to finally get out on the road and go meet my fans and play this music live for them. Thats the dream.
