In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. At NYU I built my first synthesizer. After college I entered into collaborative efforts to create the first Stephen King short movie, and with Fred Schneider of “the B-52’s”, writing the music for “Monster” which rose to the top 100 in the charts What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? David Bowie, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (2012 Remaster) Taylor Swift, 1989 The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Albums I love to play for their art, songwriting, and production qualities. My go to records for the different time periods they represent. 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. “Detour” Detour is the song that started this whole thing off! It was my first recording I made as a solo artist. I included backing spooky vocals that I got the idea from after visiting Disney's Haunted Mansion! What fun!
