In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. The first song I played on the piano was the theme melody from 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' It's only 5 notes, but it changed my life. The movie pulled me into a universe I never wanted to leave! 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 Lady Gaga, Joanne (Deluxe) Lana Del Rey, Born to Die These albums held me together through the three lowest points in my life. I was falling apart and these women were the light at the end of the tunnel. 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. “Dying Breed” This is the first song I ever released, and it will go down in history as the most special. It was the first time in the songwriting process I let go of judgment and just allowed something bigger than me to come out. 'Dying Breed' wrote itself. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I just released my first full length album 'Ghost Stories' all on my own. I learned so much from the process and grew a LOT as an artist. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I have too many things to name on my bucket list. I've only just begun.
