In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. It was 1983, I was 10, lying in the back of our family van coming back from a trip somewhere - my brother let me borrow his Walkman for about an hour. The tape that was inside? The Iron Maiden album "Piece of Mind". My Mind? Totally blown. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? David Wilcox, How Did You Find Me Here Pink Floyd, The Wall TOOL, Ænima These three demonstrate the range of influences that have somehow found their way into my music - from falling in love with Floyd and Zeppelin in middle school, to the brilliance of Tool, to the calm power of a singer/songwriter and solo guitar. 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. “The Perfect Path” For my whole career, I've been plumbing the depths of my own heart and experience. This song is someone else's story, however. I'm discovering I love putting myself in the position of listening to others' powerful stories, and writing from there.
