In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Everyone talks about playing "air guitar". Well as a kid, I played my "tennis racket guitar". Man, I had some amazing rock concerts in my living room with my Wilson axe with rubber string silencers! Carlos Cavazo would have been proud.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Boston, Boston Sevendust, Sevendust Ugly Kid Joe, Menace To Sobriety Boston started it all. The hooks, melodies, and guitar work set the ground for my future musical loves. UKJ's Menace is the holy grail for guitar tone. And the hooks are killer. The raw heaviness of Sevendust's first album is a masterpiece of metal.
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. “Losing My Faith” This is a song that came together so effortlessly from a musical and lyrical perspective. This song is obviously about my spiritual journey. And it's something everyone goes through and can relate.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Many years ago I was at local brew festival when a stranger came up and said "hey you're Jimmy Speed! Can I take a picture with you?". I thought, really? Is this my first taste of being noticed by strangers because of my music? Cool moment.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I don't think any musician is ever satisfied with the status quo. I'm always looking for the next challenge. And it's not just about how many people I play in front of, it's also about becoming a better musician, performer, and song-writer.
