In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 12 years old, I couldn't stop listening to my brother's vinyl copy of Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run album. I sat down at the piano one day and began to play the opening of Thunder Road. I got better and better at it as time passed. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Stevie Wonder, Innervisions Remastered The Beatles, The Beatles (The White Album) Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot I love how these albums explore different genres and sonic arrangements. I also tend to jump around through different styles in my writing and I'm pretty I got that from albums like this which have had a huge influence on me 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. “Almanac” I'm particularly proud of this song because of what it is about and also the melody and arrangement. I don't know if it's my "best" song, but its one I love to play live and actually really enjoy listening to as well.
