In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was 7, listening to a new record I got: Europe's The Final Countdown. When the song Cherokee came on, it painted such a vivid picture of their suffering in my head, I cried all night. It was that moment I discovered music's true emotional power. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Rage Against the Machine, Rage Against the Machine Sublime, Sublime System Of A Down, System Of A Down All 3 of these albums changed the way I looked at rock music, what was possible. Rage mixed biting raps, killer guitar riffs, and funky bass. Sublime mixed punk, reggae, and hip hop. And SOAD just rocked. All 3 sounded different than anything else.
