In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is singing at 3. By 8, I was writing poems that unknowingly shaped my songwriting, while singing in school and church choirs and casually playing drums and ukulele. At 18, I finally committed to the guitar. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why?
