In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest memories is when I was asked at 12 to audition for a friends band at school. I was the uncool one, the loner, but as soon as I fronted that band in that audition, I felt strong. I knew I had found my tribe and my place in life. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bonnie Raitt, Longing In Their Hearts Bruce Springsteen, Born In the U.S.A. Depeche Mode, Violator (Deluxe) Bonus Tracks Edition Violator got me through my grief when my Nan died when I was younger. Truly inspirational album. Longing In Their Hearts. Her voice touches me, reaches me and this album is a true classic. Born In The USA. One of the first albums I owned. 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. “Not on My Knees” For me this is a pivotal song. It shows the mindset and attitude of where I am now, where Steve Birkett and I are as songwriters, and how much we will stand up for our music and never give in or bow to trends.
