In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was around 12 years old, I found my dad's old iPod touch. He showed me how to use it and on it were a bunch of Black Eyed Peas and John Legend songs. I listened to all those songs 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? John Legend, Get Lifted Justin Bieber, Justice Michael Jackson, Thriller "Get Lifted" was the first song I ever bought on iTunes when I first got a phone. "Thriller" was what made me fall in love with music in the first place. "Justice" is a huge inspiration and influence on my music now. 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. “Attitude” I wrote this song during lockdown and it was one of the first few songs I put out on all streaming platforms. I wrote and produced the entire song on my own and even to this day, I find this to be one of my favorite songs for its lyrics and melodies. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Performing my song "Slide On U" for the first time in front of my friends and family. My first ever performance was at the Japantown Cherry Blossom Festival in my hometown of San Francisco, where I performed what is my highest streamed song to date. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Sell out a venue and perform in front of a huge crowd that knows all of the lyrics to my songs.
