CJB TODAY

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Early music was just my primal-ego escaping. I remember Madness at school discos and slow dancing to Whitney. I didn't awaken until 50. That raw noise is the root of the Alternative Soul I create today — beauty that isn't afraid of thorns. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Def Leppard, Hysteria George Michael, Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1 2017 Remastered Michael Jackson, Thriller Thriller: Powerful, creative, "so everything". Praying for Time: Deeply soulful; it makes me think about everything. Hysteria: Rock anthems that make me feel I can conquer the world while staying cool. 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. “CHASING DOWN THE SUN” Written after someone close took their own life, it's the heart of Alternative Soul. A raw plea to hang on until tomorrow. To state that with The Soul Acts even beauty can grow from life's darkest thickets, but you have to hold on and keep growing. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? TODAY! (Read my book and you'll get it). Seriously I am buzzing at having an Apple Artist profile! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Absolutely. This is only beginning. Many gigs and creative ways to get my music to those who need it are in the planning stages. I’m 50+ and finally doing what I love: spreading Soul Happiness through Alternative Soul. #loveEVERYTHINGtoday
