In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember writing an optimistic song when I was about eleven years old. I showed it to my mother and she told me it was great, this was probably the first time I figured out that I could express myself with words and song. Haven't slowed down since. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ben Howard, Every Kingdom (Deluxe Edition) Bon Iver, Bon Iver (Deluxe Edition) Mumford & Sons, Wilder Mind (Deluxe Edition) These were the foundations of how I thought I would like to put my ideas together. They taught me structure and freedom in writing. Every Kingdom was the first album I really put on repeat in my life. I wasn't exposed to much music growing up. 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. “Change the Weather” This song represented a big shift in my creative process. It was the start of me making more concrete and informed decisions. It was a goodbye to the stubborn habits of old.
