In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Jamming with school friends and meeting new musician.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Freddie King, The Best of Freddie King: The Shelter Records Years Stevie Ray Vaughan, Stevie Ray Vaughan: Collections ZZ Top, ZZ Top's First Album I just love the Texas blues sound. I also like the Chicago, and New Orleans styles etc. But Texas style is my favourite.
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. “Harlem Boogie” I'm happy with the lyrics. I think they tell the story of Boogie Woogie piano well and a lot of the key players (pun intended) get a mention. I also think the animated video for the song I produced is pretty good.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Going on European Tour with the band Bo'weevil. Recording the Bo'Weevil album 'Scoundrel Blues'
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would like to be able to record more original material and to record and get out there playing it live.
