In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was two, sitting on my mom’s lap in front of my birthday cake, singing You Are My Sunshine. I didn’t know the words, but I knew the feeling. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Christopher Cross, Christopher Cross Marianas Trench, Ever After My Chemical Romance, The Black Parade Ever After for its storytelling. The Black Parade for the emotion and chaos. Christopher Cross for the melodies that feel timeless. Each one taught me something different about how music can move people. 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. “Easy Love” Easy Love came together in a day and feels like everything I love about music — a sax solo, a key change, and lyrics that don’t take themselves too seriously but still mean something real. It’s fun and honest. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Getting to share my music with the world. Seeing people connect to songs that started in my bedroom still feels surreal. It’s the kind of thing you dream about and never get used to. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I’d love to work with and perform alongside some of my favorite artists. There’s something magic about collaboration — the way it pushes you and makes music feel brand new again.
