Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Helping my dad wallpaper the ceiling while we listened to Simon & Garfunkel, Queen, T-Rex, Steve Harley, and the Rock Aid Armenia album. I was holding up a big broom, trying to keep the roll of wallpaper from falling, while bobbing along to Mr. Soft.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Funkadelic, Maggot Brain Tom Waits, Rain Dogs Van Morrison, Astral Weeks Rain Dogs was the first album I ever heard that I couldn't understand. I was obsessed. Maggot Brain grooves like nothing else on earth. And Astral Weeks is my favourite album of all time – you don't listen to Astral Weeks, you walk inside 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. “Sunshine” This was the first song that got me any attention. Vic Galloway played it on his BBC radio show and sent me a wee note describing it as “Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci meets Randy Newman”. I was buzzing.
