In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.

Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Drake, Take Care (Deluxe Version) Michael Jackson, Off the Wall Prince & The Revolution, Purple Rain MJ's "Off the Wall" was able to blend disco, funk, soul, elements seamlessly making it a classic. Prince pushed the boundaries with Purple Rain by production quality, emotional depth, and cultural impact.Take care has captivating bars & vulnerability Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special.

One of the most memorable moments in my career so far was my first college tour and the fan's ethereal reaction to my singing and playing Guitar live. That feeling was like no other. I knew from that key moment that this was my calling. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to go on a global headline sold out tour.Then become a stadium touring artist, and get back into acting at some point.I also want to write a book, sign artist that I like to my own label and help them grow into successful artist/entrepreneurs
