In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is listening to old records and feeling drawn to the groove, especially the bass and drums. Watching Video Soul with Donnie Simpson. Playing in marching, jazz, and concert band shaped my ear and love for music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? DJ Quik, Safe & Sound Michael Jackson, Bad The O'Jays, Back Stabbers My top albums are Michael Jackson’s Bad, Dj Quik’s Safe & Sound, and The O’Jays’ Backstabbers. Their grooves, production, and feel are timeless, powerful, and influential—every track leaves a lasting impression. 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. “GOODTIMES. (INSTRUMENTAL)” GOODTIMES-Erv100 x Myself is my favorite because it captures a raw, unfiltered energy. I remember creating it and feeling every moment, every beat—it’s honest, alive, and unapologetically me, a track that still hits with that same original vibe. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of my most memorable moments was meeting Kendrick Lamar. It was completely random, but it meant a lot—just handshakes and mutual respect. It was one of those moments that stays with you and reminds you how far the journey can take you. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes—going platinum. It’s a milestone that represents reaching a wide audience and having my music truly connect. Beyond the accolade, it’s about creating something that lasts and resonates with people everywhere.
