In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was 10 years old and went to the musical theatre on Christmas. We saw Grease my sister and brothers and I and I was totally starstruck and fascinated by everything. From that day I also wanted to be on the stage performing and singing. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?

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. “Boom” Boom came out the same day as the big earthquake/tsunami, 2011 in Japan.
