In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember learning the recorder from a very early age and my teacher saying how I was a natural. So I'm forever grateful to them for recognising that in me. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Joshua James, From the Top of Willamette Mountain The National, Trouble Will Find Me These three albums are written so beautifully. Incredible melodies and insanely well written lyrics make these albums listenable over and over again. 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. “Yesterday” I wrote this song shortly after my Dad passed in February 2022. I was flying back from Africa at the time & arrived to the call that he had passed. Writing this song got me back to writing again and helped no end in dealing with the grief thatI felt. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I think supporting Matt Cardle on tour was a very memorable time. He won the Factor UK in 2010 and has been a friend for some time since. Playing a series of theatres was an amazing experience. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I'd simply just love the opportunity to tour and play and continue writing and recording as much as possible.
