In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was a out 5 years old, our family friend gave me a gift of a used cassette player and the best of Boney M. tape. I listened to that tape over and over again. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Jason Isbell, Southeastern John Butler Trio, HOME Noah Gundersen, Ledges All three of these albums are master classes in songwriting and full of very tasty acoustic guitar music mixed with rock elements. I love experimenting with that crossover territory. 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. “World Upside Down” After moving from Ireland to France, from a big city to rural countryside, where I converted an old 1970's caravan into a recording studio, "World Upside Down" started a new chapter of songs for me. It is the beginning of finding my true voice. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I have been blessed with a wild ride of a career as an independent artist. There are so many highlights. It is always the connection. During live shows, or even when my song just reaches someone right at the time they need it. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would love to tour the world, with few selected friends. I would love to organice a spiritual festival that would be a gathering of thousnad or so similarly minded people in almost like a retreat setting somewhere surrounded by nature.
