In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My brother got Van Halen "Jump" for Christmas. I was dancing across the living room. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Miles Davis, Kind of Blue Robert Glasper, Black Radio III Tom Misch, Yussef Dayes, What Kinda Music I have been listening to the Tom Misch and Robert Glasper non stop. Kind of Blue is just a solid foundational album for me for decades now. 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. “Beginner's Mind (feat. Shannon Hayden)” This song really took hold by me just trying a bunch of new things. And the sound of it is the closest synergy of my influences that I've yet to achieve. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Playing on stage with The Polish Ambassador for the Portland NYE show! It was amazing, and the energy was just right. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes, an entire horizon of possibilities. But let's start with growing this thing into a worldwide phenomenon.
