In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I started playing the piano by ear, being able to replay the theme songs of my grandmother's favorite tv shows and soap operas. Young and the Restless, Matlock, etc. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Big Sean, Dark Sky Paradise (Deluxe) Big Sean, Detroit 2 (Deluxe) The S.O.S. Band, Sands of Time Big Sean is a major influence in motivation, work ethic, spiritual practice and artistic investment. Sands of Time is a huge influence in the development of my own 80's sound in future projects. 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. “Cat & Mouse (Mighty Mouse Version)” This was a beat that I genuinely had fun making. I intentionally made the piano sound like it's own sample, by practicing it until it felt natural to play a few times over without quantizing and editing midi data. It's also inspired by Tom & Jerry!
