In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. The first concert I attended was Ben Folds Five "Brick" tour co-headlining with Beck supported by opener Sean Lennon on 6/1/98 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. Ben Folds was furious because stage hands dropped his piano pre-show. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos, Nöel À Silos - Chant Grégorien Catholic Music Initiative, Marian Hymns (feat. Lauren Moore & Dave Moore) Peter Phillips, The Tallis Scholars, Allegri: Miserere - Palestrina: Missa Papae Marcelli (Remastered) The music I have created is influenced by lifelong Catholic faith and spiritual tradition. 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. “Silk-Like-Lips/ Patchwork (Reprise)” I especially love remembering watching audiences dance and sing this final setlist song back, where I would introduce and thank each musician in the band during their epic solos. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Not to detract from any stage, however, the three venues I loved playing the most were The Bitter End, The Studio at Webster Hall, and The Living Room (NYC). Wonderful memories that I will always thank God for. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? By no means am I done writing or recording music. I would like to write and record more songs whether singles, EPs or LPs. I am also open to collaborating with other artists or songwriters both in the studio and on stage.
