In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My father bought me a Gibson ES 125-T from his co-worker for my 14th birthday. I wanted to learn to play like Eddie Van Halen. I was playing trombone at school, and I started playing bass after my trombone was stolen.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Genesis, Wind and Wuthering 2007 Remaster Rush, Moving Pictures Remastered Van Halen, Van Halen Remastered Van Halen was my inspiration to be a guitarist. Rush's Moving Pictures remains my favorite album by any artist. I learned how to play bass from listening to Geddy. I love all the Genesis albums from the 70s but Wind and Wuthering has a unique sound.
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 My Dreams” This is a song I wrote about a dream where you are hearing and watching a beautiful performance in a giant auditorium. The sensory experiences blend together.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? It has all been memorable, but hearing my music performed live is always special.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Going on a world tour to perform my songs would be fun.
