In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Aside from being in church, my earliest musical memory is my mother buying me a keyboard and a guitar (with a beginner's manual) at maybe 6 or 7. I don't think she knew whether I'd actually pick them up, but I was certainly a highly creative. kid.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Childish Gambino, Because the Internet Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill The Black Keys, Brothers These 3 albums sharpened my musical taste as a kid. Three very district, niche albums creating during eras where each of these artists were pushing their own creative boundaries.
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. “Mulholland” This song marks a chapter in my life where I began to explore what it truly means to marry honesty & creativity. It was also created during a hugely transitional period in my personal life and is one of my favorite ballads that I've written.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Stepping on a global stage for the first time on COLORS in 2018 to perform my song "Succulent".
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to make an album with The Black Keys. They've highly influenced my sound from childhood, and many of my fav albums they've produced. It's one of my only "dreams" tbh [besides being able to tour my music globally].
