Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Not my earliest memory, but the most significant was seeing R.E.M. on the Life's Rich Pageant tour when I was about 14 at the Fox in Atlanta. 5 encores. Completely changed my perpsective on how exciting and uplifiting music could be.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds The Church, Priest = Aura (Remastered) The La's, The La's (Deluxe Edition) Deluxe Edition Priest=Aura is The Church at their best. Marty's playing is phenomenal.Pet Sounds is, well, Pet Sounds. Learning more about Brian Wilson over the years has broadened my compositional horizons. The La's is a masterpiece even if Lee Mavers hates it.
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. “Vanish” Vanish is an extremely special song to me because it's the first original music I've released in 20 years. It's also a collaboration with Marty Willson-Piper (the church, Noctorum), who's been one of my favorite musicians for decades now.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When Marty came to Atlanta and we recorded his tracks. It really took what I was doing a few levels higher. And it was a great time. Loads of fun.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? World domination! Just kidding. I really hope we can arrange to get a live show together at some point. Myself and all the collaborators are scattered around the planet at the moment, but I want to make it happen at some point.
