In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My mom and I used to sit at our computer when I was younger and download songs off of Limewire. She exposed me to so many artists like Babyface, Pebbles, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Paula Abdul, Lauryn Hill, and more. That's when it got me. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Omar Apollo, Apolonio SZA, Ctrl I mean it is my holy trinity. If I was able to add one more tho, it would be Voicenotes by Charlie Puth, which is a phenomenal pop album in my opinion. I think together these four have influenced me the most in recent years as an artist. 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. “night in” I was going through such a rough time and music was truly my saving grace. This song is such a sexy and sultry yet really sad ballad and you can just hear the emotion running through it. Making this with my producer Nick Smith was such an experience. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Playing for Sofar Sounds LA with my best friend. We would always talk about how we wanted to perform for them and in 2023 we got that opportunity. It is just a moment I will remember forever. That and recording The PRETTY BOY Show with Ryan KJ.
