In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest musical memory is learning the recorder at Warragamba Primary School, west of Sydney. I had piano lessons and then took up the cello at highschool to play in the school orchestra. After graduating on cello I changed to viola da gamba.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bodø Domkor, Meditatus Hejira with Strings Attached, Hejira - Joni Mitchell Tribute - Single Jordi Savall, La Capella Reial de Catamunya, Le Concert des Nations, Marin Marais; Alcione I just loved Joni Mitchell growing up. Such an original singer/song writer. Anything by Jordi Savall inspires. Norwegian jazz pianist/composer Jan Gunnar Hoff brings together jazz, classical and folk influences. I've even performed with him!
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. “Frid på Jord (Peace on Earth)” Frid pa jord means 'peace on earth.' My grandfather was Swedish and I love Swedish music. This is our cover of a song by folk musician and composer, Sofia Karlsson.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I think recording our second album, FIKA, was a real breakthrough for me and the band. It is my favourite album of all my recordings on acoustic and electric viola da gamba.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I really want to keep promoting the electric viola da gamba. I love this instrument!
