In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. At six, I began taking voice lessons at a small chapel in my hometown. I remember learning "Blue Skies" by Ella Fitzgerald and instantly connecting with that style. Looking back, those lessons were the beginning of it all for me. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ella Fitzgerald, London Symphony Orchestra, Someone to Watch Over Me Olivia Dean, Live At Eventim Apollo Tori Kelly, Inspired by True Events (Deluxe Edition) These albums hit me uniquely. Tori’s lyrics and hooks truly inspire me, while Olivia’s live performance highlights her personality and the incredible energy of a big band. Ella’s album is timeless and elegant, with the strings bringing it to life. 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. “Best Friend (Live)” This song means a lot to me because I wrote it in high school with some close friends, and later got to release a new version with my college friends. I love how they added their own energy to it, and having horns in the track is a dream come true!
