Elliot Root

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Skateboarding was a huge part of my life when I was younger and that community introduced me to so many great bands. More than just the introduction to new music, it was the introduction to music as part of a culture that opened my eyes to art. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Coldplay, A Rush of Blood to the Head Radiohead, A Moon Shaped Pool The Postal Service, Give Up (Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition) Each of these albums was a companion through a formative moment in my life. Each of these albums changed the way that I think about approaching music and creating. 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. “June, After Dark” The first song I made that ended up taking on a life of its own, meaning something different to so many different people. It's an amazing thing to see art make its way around the world and connect strangers.
