In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I first found my voice with my dad play artists like Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel at home. But the first time I truly felt it was in primary school, singing in a choir among the redwoods, a little kid with a big heart, trying to wake up the trees. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Hozier, Hozier Rag'n'Bone Man, Human (Deluxe) Seu Jorge, Músicas para Churrasco, Vol. 1 (Ao Vivo) [Deluxe Edition] I chose these three because they feel like real artists telling real stories with heart, soul, and love. Their music carries depth and humanity, and I connect with the way they stay true to themselves without compromising their art. Just beautiful. 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. “Fado Lady” I chose this song because it was my first, and my wife sings on it with me. It’s rough around the edges, just like I am, and it carries my love for the world, for connection, and for the beauty of different cultures. Awkward honesty...
