In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was still diapers I would come running out every time the Star Trek Voyager theme song came on TV and would just listen. Still listen to it today, Jerry Goldsmith is one of the great cinema composers that made my ears what they are today.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? A Perfect Circle, Thirteenth Step Martin O'Donnell, Michael Salvatori, Halo: Combat Evolved (Original Soundtrack) Original Soundtrack Simon & Garfunkel, The Essential Simon & Garfunkel These albums had key influences to my ears. Halo with its excellent storytelling. Simon & Garfunkel with their wonderful poetry and simplicity. Perfect Circle with its vibes and singing.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Finding out how much I hate the industry and leaving. Best thing I could have ever done. I now make music that I love versus what sells. This is my music not theirs.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Producing high quality, story rich music videos with impact. I have a vision for what I want to share with people in hopes that maybe they will begin to journey in instead of out.
