In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was very young, I remember sitting in the living room of my childhood house and listening to "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" by Selena Gomez on repeat. I was obsessed with it, and it kickstarted my love for music very early in my life. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ariana Grande, thank u, next Beyoncé, RENAISSANCE Doja Cat, Scarlet Each of these albums represents some of the more stark contrasts between my personal musical influences. I have a lot of favorites, and I love exploring the boundaries of music, but my tastes always fall within these general three staples. 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. “Inazuma” I wrote 'Inazuma' based off of "Genshin Impact," which is a video game that changed my life. The song was about a friend of mine who moved away from my hometown, and I had a hard time dealing with that, so it has a lot of meaning to me. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Definitely the response to my song "Lost in Silence." The song was based on a League of Legends character named Aphelios, but I didn't even intend to release it. I posted a cute snippet to a fake YouTube channel and it blew up, and... here we are. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Just about everything is left on my bucket list. I'm new, I'm fresh. I'm like... just starting out in the world, and I'd be honored to experience a great many things!
