In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Traveling by ship to a Croatian island when I was 5 or 6, my mother humming Secret Garden’s “Nocturne.” I tried to sing her riff, failed, and learned to love patience, sound, and music as something to feel and work for fully. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Mahmood, Ghettolimpo Marco Mengoni, MATERIA (PRISMA) ROSALÍA, LUX It feels impossible to choose only three, but these albums taught me far more than music. They stayed with me through my best and worst moments, and they’re why I’m never afraid to experiment and push my sound further. 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. “Lies Lay Cold” This song is my first child and first release, deeply tied to one of the hardest periods of my life. I never planned to share it, yet it reached Croatia’s Eurovision national final and grew bigger through the love and feedback from the audience.
