In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One memory I won't forget was first learning how to produce music in Ableton. I was in undergrad at the University of Iowa, and I was in the main library making beats on my headphones after studying for finals. This reminds me that hard work prevails What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? LINKIN PARK, Hybrid Theory Sonny Fodera, Wide Awake blackbear, deadroses Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park was the first CD I ever owned. Linkin Park will go down as my favorite band of all time. deadroses by blackbear because he's my favorite pop artist of all time. Wide Awake by Sonny Fodera, one of my biggest inspirations. 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. “Lake Shore Drive” Lake Shore Drive is the first song I released. It is also the first release on my record label Kinetic Entertainment, LLC. I wanted to create a song about Chicago, and all I could think about was missing summer nights driving down Lake Shore Drive. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Lake Shore Drive went semi-viral on TikTok and words can't express the joy this gave me. I was nervous posting a video of myself singing my song for social media, but the feedback the world has given me has inspired me to make the best music I can. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? My bucket list is to simply perform at festivals and clubs around the world: Lollapalooza, Coachella, EDC Orlando, EDC Mexico, Electric Zoo, Electric Forest, Omnia (Las Vegas), Tomorrowland, and many more.
