In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. The first time I heard the Beatles at a young age I was mesmerized by the power that their music had over me. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band has to be one of the best albums of the 20th century, period. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Genesis, A Trick of the Tail 2007 Remaster Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon Remastered Yes, Close to the Edge All of this bands have material that is in a way more "hardcore" but these examples combine prog rock with a sense of approachability that spans over one simple category. The musical ability and production values are top notch on these albums. 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. “Outside the Dream (Epic Edition)” The song is a 10 minutes instrumental adventure that starts with a synth and an organ and builds up to include pulsating vibes, cool solos and drums before turning into an ending that's calming but uplifting. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Having work with some of my musical heroes is an amazing feat onto itself. Musically speaking, my song Blood Like Red has an underlaying complexity to it that I just love. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? There are always things in one's bucket list. There is a whole set of musicians that I would like to work with on my music. Enough of them to more than fill a bucket to the top.
