In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Earliest musical memories were the middle school days playing snare and sax getting those pre performance jitters and butterflies all to have them all go away and get into a zone where it’s just me and the music. Absolutely beautiful! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? JAŸ-Z, Reasonable Doubt OutKast, Stankonia Snoop Dogg, Doggystyle Stankonia because not only is so fresh so clean on it but it was the first rap album I bought on my own from yard work also ms Jackson was my life for a min… Reasonable doubt because it’s jay at one of his highest gears Doggystyle cuz is doggystyle. 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. “Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder) (Remastered 2021)” This is my jam. Put this on in the car and Tone def karaoke anyone? Haha What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I’d say the most memorable moment was when I got to open up for Jay Electronica with my a childhood friend on the drums during portlands hip hop week. It was very surreal and a great culmination of my hard work and grind Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Most definitely have the need for me. I’ve barely checked the list off. I need to travel the world and not work a 9-5 ever again off my music. First and for most haha.
