In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Performing with my older sisters in three part harmony - singing all the greats, jazz, R&B, Motown and Pop for my parent's private parties as a child. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alicia Keys, Alben für die Ewigkeit: Alicia Keys - Unplugged Eagles, Hotel California Etta James, 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Etta James Hotel California - ALL the Eagles songs & Don Henley's writing have always inspired me to be the songwriter I strive to be. Etta James - she's a queen a legend and I strive to have as much soul as she does. Alicia Keys - love her, LOVE this record. 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. “Can't Stop This Thing” This is definitely one of my favs. It's a boppy love song & talks about carefree days in a relationship & still the universe's pull cant be denied. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Singing my original jazz tunes & also beloved standards at a 50th anniversary party at Gillette Stadium on the 50 yard line.
