In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was 7 years old... standing on a milk carton in a field in Leeds, UK, surrounded by 100,000 people... watching Michael Jackson's Dangerous tour. I'm still obsessed with the rhythm and the intricacy of every moment of that performance. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Beck, Guero Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited Bruce Springsteen, The Rising Limited Edition Each of these albums helped to shape the way I write music to this day. Particularly lyrically... pop melodies, but each record actually talking about interesting and important subjects. 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. “Super 8” This song, I believe, encapsulates everything I want to be as an artist. Lyrically it delves into personal subjects of loss and hope, but musically it absolutely bangs... intricate rhythms, peculiar alternative pop melodies.
