In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. At the age of three, while my mom and friends were drinking, playing cards and watching music videos, I sang the words, “Hey Mister DJ...” from R. Kelly’s 1992 R&B Classic “Slow Dance”. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Lupe Fiasco, Lasers Nicki Minaj, Pink Friday (Complete Edition) Born in an era prior to streaming, Pink Friday and Lasers are the only two albums I have ever went out and physically purchased. These three albums are timeless works of art I can play from start to finish with no skips that speak to my soul. 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. “Pyr” This record is special because it is from my debut EP, "Book of John" written and performed by me. It also features an outro from my late grandfather. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of the most memorable moments in my career so far is attending the 2022 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. What an absolute dream come true! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Win a Grammy, Go on a sold out World Tour, and become a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer
