In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Back in high school, I did a live acoustic set at my international school in London. It was a Japanese song, and to my surprise, everyone loved it. Some people were even tearing up. That really made my day. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? David Bowie, Blackstar Michael Jackson, Off the Wall Stevie Wonder, A Time to Love (UK Version) Off the Wall still feels timeless with its analog warmth. A Time to Love amazed me with Stevie Wonder’s genius. The melodies made me think, "I can't compete with this." Blackstar shows Bowie’s bold artistic freedom, cementing his legend. 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. “Bye” I feel like I’ve managed to write something simple yet profound. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? A surprising moment was when I performed for a family audience. I ended up singing while holding a small child in my arms. When the kid fell asleep, I couldn’t help but think, “Hey, I must be getting pretty good at this,” haha. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? There’s just too much to talk about, so I’m not sure where to start. But for now, I’d say I really want to do a live show overseas again—it’s been a while.
