In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest music memories was the first time I sang in front of an audience. It was for a remembrance day assembly, and they got me to sing 21 Guns by Green Day. I'd never done it before, but I fell in love with performing.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Amble, The Commons - EP Green Day, American Idiot Oasis, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? These albums all show my musical journey. I started with Punk-style music because I wanted to make a statement. Oasis influenced my style of writing of "discover what it means after." Amble helped transform my sound and the style I wanted to perform.
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. “Who You Were Before” This is one of the first songs I ever wrote, so it holds a special place in my heart. It was one of those songs I sat down, worked on once, and never had to change anything about it because I couldn't find anything I wanted to make better.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I played a gig at an Irish Bar called Patrick Sheehan's; I wasn't expecting a huge crowd. However, the entire local Rugby team was there, and we started singing Don't Look Back in Anger. Screaming that song with them as I Played it was unforgettable
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? My current goal is to begin releasing my folk-style music. I'm very excited to gain new audiences from it and hopefully have some people learn my songs and sing them when I perform. I would also love to open up for a local artist one of these days.
