VERNON

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest music memories is making beats with my old friends in my room on my family's old desktop computer. We downloaded various beat-making software, explored the virtual instruments, and used my closet as a vocal booth. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Drake, Certified Lover Boy Nipsey Hussle, Victory Lap Travis Scott, UTOPIA Victory Lap is my go-to for daily motivation. CLB helped me get through the ups and downs of rebuilding my confidence and my life after the COVID-19 lockdown. Utopia inspired me to be more creative sonically and push musical boundaries. 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. “Runnin'” This song is special to me because it was my first track back after a long hiatus. I tried to incorporate elements of deep house and the '90s and early '00s dance music I grew up hearing during commercials or playing racing games. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Releasing my first studio album, "Nuclear". The album is the most memorable of all the milestones I've reached because it was something I did to prove to myself that I could. I sought approval from others but ultimately decided to believe in myself.
