In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. At the age of 14, I was invited to record a song at the Chalet Recording Studio in rural Pickering, Ontario. It was my first, real recording experience and so it was my first real glimpse as to what it would be like to be a professional musician. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Single File, Common Struggles The Hotelier, Home, Like Noplace Is There Tokyo Police Club, Champ (10 Year Anniversary Deluxe) Whenever I'm in a rut, all of these albums remind me why I love music in the first place. My goal is to one day release music which has affected others in the same way. 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. “Godman” Godman was written by me and my friends during pit band rehearsal of our high school's production of Godspell. We rehearsed without the ensemble so our guitarist, Shawn adlibbed lyrics which would eventually become Godman's opening verse. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Winning 'Best Music Video' for Encore at the 2021 Oshawa Music Awards was the first instance of tangible proof that I had contributed something original and meaningful to the music industry. I hope to continue to inspire people with my work. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? On a few occasions, people whom I really look up to have complimented my work. I idolize hundreds of artists and so I'd love to continue to share my work with them.
