In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest musical memory is picking up the trumpet in 5th grade and falling in love with the timbre, projection, and boldness of the instrument. As a young boy, it felt fantastic to blare louder than everyone else. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ben Platt, Sing to Me Instead Justin Bieber, Justice Kings Kaleidoscope, Zeal These three are all SO different, but are all nearly perfect. Zeal is an instrumentation and arrangement masterclass, Sing To Me Instead is an unreal display of vocal agility and poignant songwriting, and Justice holds some special memories. 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. “Golden Eyes” GOLDEN EYES is one of my favorite projects to date, as it combines my love for classic Coldplay-esque guitar parts with jaw-dropping vocal moments. It goes WILD live, too. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of the most memorable moment in my career has been opening for Waka Flocka Flame & MAX in front of 2,500 people. This was our FIRST full band show and it could not have gone better. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? There are COUNTLESS things left on my bucket list. I will play Red Rocks, Radio City Music Hall, MSG, and more. Live is where the energy resides.
