In the artistās words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
One of my first musical memories was looking up at a towering grand piano when I was around 5 years old. My second cousin was an opera singer, and one day he sat me down and taught me the major scale. It was my first taste of music and I loved it. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on AppleĀ Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Bob Marley, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Exodus Remastered Bonus Track Version
Gabor Szabo, Spellbinder
Paul Simon, Graceland
Exodus was a big part of my youth, I was struck by the arrangements and it just made me wanna dance.
Graceland has that traveling feel about it and always inspires me.

āDesde el Otro Ladoā
This song is dedicated to my dad who passed away a few years ago. It represents a moment in time and in my life that left its mark. I tried to turn that pain into something beautiful. It's my way of healing and I hope it helps others too. Whatās one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Meeting and working with Tony Allen, he was one of my heroes. I would listen to his drumming and analyse every beat. His rhythm is like no other and his playing hypnotic. It was a dream come true as a young artist and set me up for my career ahead. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
