In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest musical memories are shaped by my parents watching my father create jazz in his studio and learning discipline through my mother’s choir direction. They taught me that music can be both deeply emotional and intentional. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Kanye West, The Life of Pablo Sade, Love Deluxe The Weeknd, House of Balloons (Original) The Life of Pablo by Kanye West showed me how emotion and experimentation can coexist. Love Deluxe by Sade and House of Balloons by The Weeknd inspired me with timeless songwriting, intimacy, and mood-driven storytelling. 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. “Do For Me (feat. SouthExst)” “Do for Me” is special because it speaks honestly about what my lover takes for granted. It’s a reminder of boundaries and self-worth, showing that love should be mutual and effortful. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of the most memorable moments in my career was shooting my first music video and having full creative control. It was euphoric the best feeling I’ve ever had, completely new and unforgettable. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes, I want to have a big influence on the gaming world and create an album made just for video games. It might sound corny, but it’s one of my biggest dreams as an artist.
