In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest memories is learning to use my parents’ vinyl record player. I was hooked on the crackle of the needle and the endless albums, feeling like each song revealed a secret. That’s when music first felt like magic to me. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Larson, Rosario Dawson, Rent (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Original Broadway Cast of Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Moulin Rouge! The Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording) Various Artists, Hair: Special Anniversary Edition (Remastered Original Cast Recording) Moulin Rouge!, Hair, and Rent are my all-time favorites because they blend powerful storytelling with unforgettable music. They showed me that songs can carry love, rebellion, and raw emotion while capturing the spirit of their time. 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. “Yogurt” I chose “Yoghurt” because the idea came to me while making a batch of Greek yogurt one day. The process was simple but inspiring, and it sparked a playful song that blends everyday life with creativity in a way that felt natural to me. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of the most memorable moments in my career was seeing 60,000 people listen to one of my songs in a single day. Watching it spread so quickly was surreal and reminded me how powerful music can be in connecting people. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I am just starting, so my bucket list is still wide open. I want to create bigger productions, collaborate with inspiring artists, and keep pushing myself creatively. Every project feels like the beginning of something bigger.
