In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I played my first live performance on harmonica at age 5 in front of my school. I went on to play piano for the school and accompanied my class's choir on piano. Later I attended Young Writers at UVA and studied songwriting with John d'Earth.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Manolín, El Médico de La Salsa, Tiene Que Ser Manolín NG La Banda, Simplemente Lo Mejor de Ng la Banda Parliament, Funk Essentials: Parliament - The 12" Collection and More These are just a few of the diverse influences that I have turned to and that provided me with so much joy in listening. I love groove, I love funk, I love bass and percussion. I also love to dance. There are many more albums that I would mention too
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. “In My Dreams” This is the first song that I ever recorded with an amazing producer named Mike Levey. This song is special to me because I like the way our collaboration turned out with our mix of samba and electronica drum and bass sounds. I hope you enjoy it!
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Touring in Belize was a dream come true! Touring in Switzerland and playing private parties in Mexico, Dominican Republic and all over the US was also amazing. As a side person I have also played many a memorable event on percussion and bass!
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Oh yes, I am ready to tour Asia, starting with Indonesia and the Phillipines! I can't wait to go to Australia as well and I also would like to tour in West and East Africa, the places that originally gave me so much inspiration.
