In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my favourites is my dad giving me my first drumming lesson at age 3. He was a highly talented jazz drummer and I've been really lucky to have parents who encouraged my love for music since a young age.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Crash Test Dummies, God Shuffled His Feet Nirvana, Nevermind The New York Robbers, 8-bit Heroes 8-Bit Heroes because it's by my band, The New York Robbers, so couldn't resist. Also, it's a genuinely awesome album! Nevermind - Nirvana had a huge impact on my formative years. Finally, Crash Test Dummies are such a technically underrated band.
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. “Stay” “Stay” was recorded live and in one take, because I wanted to capture the raw emotion and energy of the song. Also, I chose to simplify the mix to give the listener the feeling of being alone - just me and my guitar (or just you and your thoughts).
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When I first exceeded 100 000 views on YouTube, because although I make music mostly as a creative outlet for my own enjoyment, the fact that others are listening and enjoying it from around the world is a truly amazing feeling.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Of course - I plan to keep making music until I die, so watch this space!
