In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. There was always music playing at my house when I was a kid. My parents introduced me to all kinds of music from Bon Jovi, My Chemical Romance, P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, etc. Whenever people were over, guarantee the guitars would come out at around 9pm. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Asking Alexandria, Reckless And Relentless Green Day, American Idiot My Chemical Romance, The Black Parade The Black Parade was the first album I distinctly remember knowing all the lyrics from front to back when I was 8. American Idiot cemented my love for concept albums and Reckless and Relentless is just so aggressive. No song on that album is a skip. 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. “Scars” I wrote Scars when I was 16 for my best friend who was really struggling because I couldn't be there in person to help. To this day, even though I've released albums and singles since then, it's a song that is still in my top 5. Very special to me.
