In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest music memory is sitting on my dad’s lap as a small child while he wrote songs at the piano. He had an incredible music knowledge, and introduced me to some of the artist I still listen to today like Bob Dylan, David Wilcox and REM. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill (Remastered) Bob Dylan, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan John Mayer, Continuum My top 3 albums on Apple Music are Bob Dylan - Freewheelin’, John Mayer - Continuum, and Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill. They are all master classes in songwriting and are zero skip albums. 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 First Time (Explicit Version)” A song of mine on Apple Music that I love is called “The First Time”. I think it really took me out of my comfort zone as a writer, and I made the production around it so simple. If a song isn’t great acoustic, it’s most likely a dud. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? It’s hard to pinpoint one memorable moment. The last two years have been incredible. I’ve gotten so much support from other musicians and gained so many new fans. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? There are always new goals. Every year. Every month. Every day. I’d love to sell out a headlining tour in 2023.
