In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is my mum introducing me to Lionel Richie. The house was always alive with his music, and when she took me to his concert, I was mesmerised—I fell in love with music that day. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bon Iver, Bon Iver, Bon Iver Ed Sheeran, x (Deluxe Edition) Noah Kahan, Stick Season Ed Sheeran inspired me to make music, especially this album. Noah Kahan’s songs are so personal they make me want to visit his hometown. Justin Vernon’s songwriting is simply out of this world. 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. “November” This song captures the longing and vulnerability of the colder months, reflecting on past mistakes and questioning whether love can survive the weight of seasonal sadness. I balanced upbeat music with honest, intimate lyrics. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? In just a few years of my music career, the most memorable moments were at summer festivals, especially NOS Alive ’22 in Lisbon, where I met one of my favourite singers, Alec Benjamin—he was incredibly kind! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? There’s still so much on my bucket list, from collaborations to dream venues. Right now, my main goal is performing at Europe’s biggest festivals, and I’m chasing that with everything I’ve got.
