In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I grew up in the 60s and 70s when music was at its best. I was drawn to R&B. Soul, Funk, Rock, but then I then started following pioneers like Dexter Wansel, Herbie Hancock, Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, Pat Metheny, George Duke and more. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Earth, Wind & Fire, Head to the Sky (Remastered) George Duke, Snapshot Mandrill, Mandrill Is ...and Sly & the Family Stone: These artists were all ahead of their time, all groundbreakers and they all changed the trajectories of multiple genres. I am grateful for this exposure at an early age. 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. “Playtime” Playtime(Playtime EP - 2014) is consistently a Top Song in my catalog on Apple Music and as determined by Apple Music listeners. It clearly puts people in the chill zone and I'm thrilled to see it maintain a top spot in my library.
