In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. As a kid, I remember long commutes back and forth from my small hometown, to the big city. Everyday, the radio on, tuned to top 40 radio. 80's pop hits from Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, and Cyndi Lauper, the soundtrack for those long rides
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bruce Springsteen, Nebraska Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Weathervanes Jon Batiste, WE ARE (The Deluxe Edition) Isbell is one of the best current songwriters, his latest record is proof. Springsteen's "Nebraska" is a triumph of songwriting, reminding me that it's all about the songs. Batiste's "We Are" is inspiring, genre bending, and a true masterpiece.
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. “One Day at a Time” I wrote this song at the height of the pandemic. 2020 was a tough time for everyone, myself included. It's a reminder that we have to make the most of every moment because life is in the little things. We have now, so we have to make the most of it.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Self producing and recording myself was a dream come true. As a younger artist, I always dreamed of having a home studio, now it's a reality. My latest upcoming record "From Home" is that dream come true, and I can't wait to share it with you.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? One of my aspirations, and a long time dream, is to one day play Austin City Limits. I'm not a big artist, and don't expect to be, but I would love to share a song or two on that stage. Shoot, I'll play shaker, I'd just love to play there some day.
