In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I've been writing songs since I was 14. One of my earliest memories is listening to Mozart in my parents car and singing the horn concerto around London, aged 3. I first performed on stage aged 8 at a festival and started singing on stage at 16. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bob Dylan, Blonde On Blonde Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon Remastered The Beatles, The Beatles (The White Album) The Beatles, Dylan and Floyd are my biggest influences. The White Album is the most diverse of the Beatles. Pink Floyd were so important to me for their soundscapes and Bob Dylan is the greatest lyricist in history - music which touches deep. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special.
