In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. At 15, a friend came over and started playing the acoustic part from Metallica’s “To Live Is To Die” on a guitar. The melody struck me, and I immediately began learning to play. I spent hours practicing Metallica riffs and classical music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
