In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I started learning piano when I was five so my earliest musical memories are of my older brother playing and me climbing up on the piano stool wanting to play too.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? New Order, Blue Monday (2020 Digital Master) Nils Frahm, Tripping with Nils Frahm The Blue Monday 12" was the very first record I bought & the beginning of a lifelong love of electronic music. Passion opened my eyes to the beauty of world music. Nils Frahm is my favourite artist & he inspired me to start writing piano music again.
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. “In the Beginning” This track will always be special to me as it's the first ever piano piece I've released after twenty years of writing my own music. The title refers to the excitement of starting something new mixed with a bit of nervousness.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When I was twenty, I chose to play Chopin's Etude op. 25, no. 12 for my LTCL diploma. It's an incredibly difficult piece & about the only time I ever managed to perform it perfectly was actually for the exam. Amazing what a bit of adrenaline can do.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? One day, I would like to produce a book of sheet music for my solo piano pieces.
