In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I got my first music instrument when I was 14 years old, it was a cheap Cassio keyboard. That was the first time I skipped a whole night’s sleep, I was so overwhelmed with that instrument, as if I’m the only kid on earth who discovered such treasure. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Christophe Rousset, Farinelli - Il Castrato (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Madeleine Peyroux, Half the Perfect World Tom Waits, Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards (Remastered) Each albums captured me unarmed and managed to dive deep straight into my heart. Orphans - the beauty of simplicity. Half the perfect world - Brilliant authentic sound production. Farinelli - That was year ago... 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. “Smile” The song was played while I was driving my car and the words coming out of the speakers where "smile even though your heart is aching". It hit me with a moment of sweet surrender. I just had to do something with that song.
