Tris Mikal

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember seeing the music video for "Crawling" by Linkin Park on MTV when I was 5 years old. From the moment I saw the video I became obsessed with the band for nearly a decade. Their influence is still noticeable in my music today. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Fred again.., Actual Life 3 (January 1 - September 9 2022) Kanye West, Yeezus Porter Robinson, Nurture I chose these albums because they've all influenced my sound and made me rethink what I considered good music. I've listened to each of these countless times. 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. “Bleed” This is the first song I ever released.. because of that it'll always have a special place in my heart. The reaction to it surpassed my expectations and it meant a lot to me because I wrote, sang, produced, mixed, and mastered it entirely by myself. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The most notable achievement of my career to me is surpassing a million streams on the first song I ever released, completely independently. Having my first song do so well as an independent artist gave me the confidence to pursue music as a career. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to inspire people to create beautiful things.
