In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Music has been a major part of my life since I was born. My mom and dad both play and sing. I remember hearing them play songs at church in Montana. I wrote my first song on my moms childhood nylon string guitar, about my first "heartbreak." What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Chris Stapleton, Traveller Eagles, The Very Best of Eagles Norah Jones, Come Away With Me (Deluxe Edition) I chose these three albums to represent music that shaped me. I fell asleep every night to Norah Jones growing up. I know every word front and back. Chris always makes me feel things exactly how I want to. Eagles - raised on 70's and country. 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. “Who Do You Love” This is the song that led to me putting out music again. It's personal and true. My 1st producer Chris, heard it and he basically told me I had to put it out. So I owe it and him a lot. Cheers to going through hard things and making them beautiful. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Hearing a song I wrote on the Opry stage. That was a huge moment for me. It felt like years of hard work paying off and a dream being realized. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to Debut on the Opry myself, that is very important to me. I made a promise to my grandma before she passed that she'd watch me there. Even though she's gone, she will be there in spirit when I do.
