Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Picking up Def Leppard's 'On Through The Night' and playing on pots and pans to the stereo in my basement at 5 years old. I was enthralled with the connection to this sound and experience. I've chased that feeling my entire life.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Periphery, Juggernaut: Alpha The 1975, The 1975 (Deluxe) The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band These albums encompass my love for music. Each artist connects with their fanbase in such a visceral way. The presentation may change, but the intention and humanity is always at the forefront. I feel that each of these records changed 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. “Qualia” This song is experimental, avant garde in its nature, and atypical to what I'd usually write. I sat down to write this song with the intention of encapsulating QUALIA is. This piece of music is a direct reflection of my personality.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When I was 15 years old, my first band played a sold out House of Blues Chicago show supporting TheActionBlast. At 17, I recorded a record at Johnny K's Groovemaster Studios. At 24, I signed a record deal with Invogue records and put out Qualia's EP.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would live to diversify our fanbase and reach as many new people as possible. I want to tour the world and support myself with music.
