In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
The first big concert was seeing Aretha Franklin for my 10th birthday. Even at a distance from our seats on the lawn, Aretha commanded the entire atmosphere. You could feel her power and passion everywhere. She will always be my favorite singer. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Adele, 25
Aretha Franklin, Rare & Unreleased Recordings from the Golden Reign of the Queen of Soul
Various Artists, About Time (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Hearing my favorite singer, Aretha, her unreleased deep cuts, and BTS studio moments makes my heart sing. Reading interviews for Adele's 25 album got me back into songwriting after years. About Time is a stellar movie with a heartwarming soundtrack. 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.
“The Man Who Stole the Moon”
The Man Who Stole the Moon is the first original song I ever released, inspired by the animated movie "Despicable Me". I drew elements from Motown classics, songs that so smoothly balance upbeat, catchy rhythms with candid and relatable lyrics.
