In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was only 5 when Elvis died, but already a fan. I went with my parents to town shortly after, and they let me listen to an Elvis record at the record store while they were shopping. Still remember the tears, it was such a strong experience! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco de Lucía, Friday Night in San Francisco Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin (Remastered) Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here Each made such strong impact from the very first time I heard them and still are major influences. Paco, Al and John's fire and passion, David Gilmour's incredible soulful tone and Led Zep's mystique and groove + Bonham's drums are out of this world 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. “Snowflake” I am happy with how the guitar and the orchestra weave a dynamic piece moving from vulnerable to fierce without losing intensity. A journey through vivid emotions where the music is your guide and vessel. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The most memorable moments are the real magical nights that occurs when playing live and the energy flows between the band and the audience. There are so many of these moments that it's not possible to pick one. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Record with a symphony orchestra! Starting releasing my own instrumental music was definitely something for the bucket list, now to explore this path further. The upcoming Latin America tour with Conception is another. soon to be checked from list.
