In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest musical memories were of listening to the Beatles and the Beach Boys - they were always being played in our house and have had a great impact on my writing. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ben Folds, Ben Folds Live The Beatles, Abbey Road (Remastered) The Cat Empire, The Cat Empire Abbey Road is for more one of the best albums every released - side B in particular is just sublime in how it moves from one track to the next. The Cat Empire are just fun - and phenomenal musicians! Ben Folds has a knack of 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. “Running Back to You” I think this is one of my best songs - it's melodic, with great harmonies and a killer guitar solo! What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The most memorable moment was winning the Lights & Lines Album Writing Club Best Single Award in 2022 with My Little Dragon Girl! It was amazing to get recognition of a track I had written from my peers and the public. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would love to play a packed festival and release and album on vinyl.
