In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories was learning how to play the piano when I was four years old. My parents put my sisters and I in lessons, but I ended up playing from ear instead. Piano is still one of my favorite instruments in 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. “Defences (Live)” I love the live version of Defences because this was the first beat I ever produced, so doing it live was really special. At the end of this song, I free-styled the breakdown while in the booth and loved how it turned out. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Something on my bucket list is to do a Tiny Desk Concert because I have been watching them for years. I would also love perform at the House of Blues in Chicago because this is my favorite concert venue because of how intimate it is.
