In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is attending a high school jazz stage show in 5th grade. The energy and talent of the performers captivated me, and I knew right then that I wanted to pursue music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? John Prine, John Prine Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon (50th Anniversary) [Remastered] Tom Petty, Wildflowers & All the Rest (Super Deluxe Edition) John Prine and Tom Petty profoundly inspire my writing. Their storytelling, blending humor, depth, and sorrow, inspires me deeply. Having musicians from Prine's band on my records is an incredible honor that truly blows my mind. 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. “Sky Fallin'” "Sky Fallin'" is special because it transforms hardship into a fun, celebratory song that gets the crowd singing along every time. It's a crowd favorite, and I find it both therapeutic and uplifting. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Recording in Nashville with Grammy-winning Kevin McKendree and John Prine's band was an unforgettable honor. They welcomed me with open arms and brought my material to life exactly as I envisioned, almost as if they could see into my soul. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to keep rolling and complete a third album. I'd love to work with some of Tom Petty's guys and headline a show at the Ryman.
