BAD ENGINEER

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. At three years old in a ’68 pinstriped Chevelle, wind roaring and music shaking Main Street, something in me lit up. That moment buried itself deep, long before I knew what music was. It feels like the day my life chose its direction. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Dinosaur Jr., Green Mind Frightened Rabbit, Painting of a Panic Attack The Smashing Pumpkins, Gish (Remastered) These albums mirror the parts of me that stay quiet until the lights go out. They haunt me in a way that feels familiar, like someone naming emotions I’ve carried for years but never said aloud. 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. “Beyond the Known” Beyond The Known is about the night my mother told my sister a secret that my dad wasn’t my biological father. By morning, she was passed away. The song holds the shock, the grief, and the truth I never got to ask her about. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Some of my most memorable moments have been meeting the musicians I idolized as a kid. Standing in front of the people who shaped my earliest dreams reminded me how far I’ve come, and why I’m still chasing the spark they started. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I’d love to take this music on a world tour; playing at the Great Pyramids, Mesoamerican ruins, and the crumbling castles scattered across Europe. There’s something powerful about performing where history still breathes.
