In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 11 I found out about this game "Guitar Hero" after playing with my cousins. The game was so fun I remember asking my mom nonstop for it until we got it for Christmas. I got so good that eventually I moved on to real guitar.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bazzi, COSMIC Bring Me The Horizon, Sempiternal (Deluxe Edition) Travis Scott, ASTROWORLD These albums each defined a strong period of my life and shaped what I became as a musician. Sempiternal inspired me to learn to record and produce, Cosmic inspired me to make pop music, and Astroworld inspired me to become a professional.
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. “Down” Most people don't know that I've been making pop music since 2019, and none of the songs I had made inspired me to actually release anything... until Down. When I finished that song, so many people begged me to release it that I actually did lol.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I remember getting hired at Penthouse Recording Studios at the end of 2020. That was the first big studio I ever worked for, and I consider it the true beginning of my professional journey in music.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to collaborate on a song with one of my idols. I've had a few close encounters at the studio, but at some point I really would love to cook up with guys like Blackbear, Drake, Joji, or Tyler the Creator just to name a few.
