In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. An early musical memory is getting my first guitar, a baby sized classical guitar, and writing my first song on it. Not too long ago, my cousin found an old tape recording of me sat with family playing it - I guess my first gig (and recording!). What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Leonard Cohen, You Want It Darker Sufjan Stevens, Carrie & Lowell Woods, With Light and With Love This list of 3 favourite albums would be different every day, and boy there are so many, but I've picked these 3 beauties today as there's something about the light and the darkness across them that is I think part of the reason I write songs. 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. “Go Gently” This song means a lot to me as it is about saying goodbye to loved ones, in this case a grandparent, but it's not just a song about death and departure, it's about how people will always stay with us through the stories they pass down to us.
