Mimi Cross

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Apparently I sang before I could talk, and wrote my first song—with my best friend—when I was five years old. Then I told my dad I wanted to be a songwriter, but while I wrote a lot of stories, it took me over a decade to write another song. 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. “1st Kiss” Kevin Salem plays the most ravishing guitar on this song. I love it. People gravitate toward 1st Kiss—it's been in two TV shows, something that thrills me since I'm a huge fan of TV/film. Of stories. Also, I'm a romantic. Think I got that right here.
