Maverick Smith

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I grew up with my dad playing Wilson Pickett, James Brown, and Alabama, while my mom loved Kris Kristofferson, Jim Croce, and The Beatles. The mix of their music, plus our 8-track player, shaped my love for gloomy intros and cheery choruses. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ramones, Ramones The Beatles, Abbey Road (Super Deluxe Edition) 2019 Remix & Remaster The Posies, Frosting On the Beater This is tough, but I’d have to say The Ramones’ first album for its originality and pure energy, The Beatles’ Abbey Road b/c its not how to start but how you finish and The Posies’ Frosting on the Beater for its perfect power pop blend and emotion. 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. “Spookshow” "Spookshow" is pure fun for me. Anytime I can get zombies, my love of horror movies, and a nod to "Chilly Billy" into the same song, it’s hard not to love it. It’s a mix of everything I enjoy wrapped into one track.
