In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. In high school, I ditched lunch daily to record music on a MacBook Pro with GarageBand. Freestyling over beats, I maximized my 45 minutes, fueled by candy bars and water until I made it home for dinner.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? JAY-Z, The Black Album Kanye West, 808s & Heartbreak Paramore, Riot! My top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music: The Black Album by Jay-Z - ignited my love for storytelling. 808s & Heartbreak by Kanye West - influenced my style with vulnerability. Riot! by Paramore - sparked my passion for rock exploration.
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. “Bowling Green Jonny (feat. Brandon Clemons)” Bowling Green Jonny is dear to me, reminiscing on my college days performing weekly in BG. It's a tribute to those early live shows and the fans who fueled my passion. I use to get off stage and people became fans and really wanted pictures with me.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? After completing my Master's degree in 2016, my love for music never wavered. My debut Chicago show, opening for the late Prodigy of Mobb Deep, was a defining moment. His endorsement fueled my determination to pursue my musical journey relentlessly.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? On my artist bucket list, I aim to dominate the rock genre, surprising the world with my storytelling prowess. Rock and country are the next frontiers awaiting my creative exploration.
