In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I started picking up my dads guitars when I was around 10 years old. I remember dad teaching me how to play some basic, but essential chords for the very first time, like, C, D, E and G. It was in the kitchen of my childhood home. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Coldplay, Parachutes Damien Rice, O Fleet Foxes, Fleet Foxes These albums have been a big influence on me personally and musically, and I have fond memories of listening to them when I was younger. They’ll always be very special to me. 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. “Somehow” This song is special to me because it’s one of, if not the most personal song I’ve ever written about myself, and unlike most of my other songs, it isn’t about love. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Playing ‘Grace’ by Jeff Buckley in front of approximately 15,000–20,000 people. At the time of writing this, it’s the biggest crowd I’ve ever performed to, and it was just me and my guitar. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? It would be a dream come true to work with some of my favourite artists someday, like Robin Pecknold or Agnes Obel. Even just being part of the same festival or show as them would mean the world to me.
