Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My father was a music teacher in the small town in Missouri that I grew up in. There would constantly be music on the stereo or someone playing the piano or drums in the house.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? A Tribe Called Quest, Midnight Marauders Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Sir Neville Marriner, Mozart: Requiem John Coltrane, A Love Supreme I could never just name three albums because I listen to a ton of music and become obsessed with different albums depending on how I am feeling. That being said, these three albums all changed the way I view and perceive music.
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. “Catacombs (feat. Jozef Dumoulin)” This is a duo with the amazing keyboardist Jozef Dumoulin. We had no concrete plan and just went for it in the studio with a preconceived form and some snyth tracks. It turned out to be my favorite track on the album.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of the most memorable times was playing regularly in small clubs in NYC. The groups I played with all were developing a sound and doing it on a nightly basis. You have to love the process.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would like to play a concert from the moon looking at the earth.
