In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My dad is an opera singer, and when I was growing up I got to see him perform at the Sydney Opera House a lot which was so magical. I particularly loved 'the Magic Flute', and I always wanted to be able to sing the Queen of the Night aria. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alexandra Savior, The Archer Tamino, Amir (Deluxe) Tempesst, Must Be a Dream These albums are some of my all-time favourites. Particularly Amir, which is beautifully nostalgic. I first heard it when I was backpacking in Europe in 2019, and each song brings treasured memories of different places to mind. 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. “Be Gentle With My Heart” 'Be Gentle with my Heart' is deeply personal, but I think is a song people really relate to. It can be really hard to love again after heartbreak, to be vulnerable again. I couldn't find the right words to tell that new person, so I wrote this song. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I played my song 'Belladonna' in a church in London with cellists 'Zenith Duo', and they made it sound so heavenly. I ended up winning an award for this performance. It's on youtube, and I hope to release it properly some day. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I'm planning on moving to London in May 2024, and I'm really hoping that will open doors to do some touring in Europe. I can't wait to get into that vibrant music scene, and to be able to see all my favourite artists play shows!
