In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember discovering my sister's copy of "Let Go" by Avril Lavigne. I was enthralled by the lyrics and melodies, and I remember listening on repeat for hours, singing along. That was my first realization that I loved pop music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Avril Lavigne, The Best Damn Thing Kesha, Rainbow Taylor Swift, 1989 I chose these three albums because they are perfect pop records. They signify the reinvention of their respective artists. It's not easy to shift the sound that your fans know and love, but they did it well. These are inspiring pop records. 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. “Settle” 'Settle' is an incredibly special record to me. I wrote this in the midst of the pandemic when I was feeling stuck in my job and my day-to-day routine. It made me feel like I was truly capable of turning my strong feelings and frustrations into hits.
