In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember as a 9-year old singing solo for a jury, as entry test for a musical school, being so nervous that I forgot the lyrics of one of the most famous children songs. But I got a spot in the school. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Freda, Alla Behöver Glenn Gould, Bach: Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (The 1955 & 1981 Recordings) Take 6, So Much 2 Say The band Take 6 opened my musical eyes as a teenager, later the swedish pop band Freda inspired with their harmonies and great lyrics. Finally the Goldberg by Bach represents a strong urge of mine for classical music and piano in particular. 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. “Odessa” This song has a simple melody, but I love to play it and it is written as a tribute for the war stricken city of Odessa.
