In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Road trip cruising with a cooler of snacks listening to "Travel Tunes CDs 1-10" curated by Dad. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bon Iver, Bon Iver (Deluxe Edition) Cat Stevens, Tea for the Tillerman (2020 Remaster) Dave Matthews, Tim Reynolds, Live At Radio City (Bonus Track Version) Timeless truth, classic simple guitar licks (Cat Stevens). Spectacular sound design (Bon Iver). Getting lost in a deep musical friendship, and those transcendent guitar solos (Dave + Tim). 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. “Om Bei Lai” I love the vocables style of singing as it allows the singer to imbue their own intention and meaning into the song structure. Yes that's right, "Om Bei Lai" has no direct meaning, but for me in this version it is Joy! What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The artist retreat I took in November to record "The Architecture of Joy." I felt so connected to the music and purpose, the whole process was smooth and pleasurable, and I think it shows in the final release. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Creating an ambient healing album for body work and self-care. So many songs to sift through and record, this is just the beginning!
