In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My mom often played a song on the piano called Bourbon Street Saturday Night. She’d play the first few notes and pause dramatically, and I’d get so excited and beg her to keep playing. That song made me want to learn to play piano.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Janis Ian, Between the Lines (Remastered) Regina Spektor, Soviet Kitsch The Divine Comedy, Bang Goes the Knighthood Between the Lines and Soviet Kitsch both shaped me musically as a teenager — I loved the storytelling and the intimacy of the recordings. Bang Goes the Knighthood is a more recent discovery — whimsical chamber pop that gives me chills. I’m obsessed.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? An incredibly sweet memory from my first Japan tour was when a listener, someone I’d never met and who had never seen me live, showed up at the show with a beautifully decorated gift bag full of snacks for me.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I'm always dreaming of my next Japan tour. I'd love for my next US tour to be as the opening act for an artist I admire like Regina Spektor, Gabriel Kahane, or Mal Blum.
