In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I wrote a song for her called "Blank Stares". I brought her on stage to share our story and someone took a video. That video got over 1 billion views. I've since helped raise $160 million to fight dementia. 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. “No Present Like the Time” While I was a contestant on NBC's The Voice, I realized that it was time to grieve my mother and make the most of my life. I wrote down the positive life lessons I've learned from that momentous heartache, and this song was born. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? A few memorable experiences I've had are performing my original song "Blank Stares" on NBC's The Voice, touring the United Kingdom, being invited to The White House and to The Super Bowl.
