In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. As a baby, I'd crawl to the record player at my grandmother's in Cape Town, exclaiming "mimic." Later, in the US, our record collection, filled with British Rock and American Blues, introduced me to the captivating sounds of Jimi Hendrix and others. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Miles Davis, Kind of Blue Nirvana, Nevermind The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Electric Ladyland Groundbreaking, experimental, timeless. These albums mark unmatched talent, inspiring me with boundless possibilities of music and the enduring legacy of musical genius. I found these albums early in life, but there are millions of great albums. 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. “Let's Do It Right Now (feat. John Medeski, Billy Martin & Jason Fraticelli)” My latest release holds a rotating place as my favorite. It's the miracle of life's gift—the power of communication and the ability to share a moment with new listeners. It's the beauty of connecting through music in a fleeting instant. LDIRN. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Studying with jazz legends in NYC and being part of an amazing group of talented musicians was a truly inspiring time for me. Witnessing the impact my music has on others also continues to fuel my passion. I never forget a deep connection. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Seeking inspiring collaborators who defy norms, chase dreams, and excel in music or any field. Age, color, or personality no barrier. Of course this means experienced veterans, but also young talents alike.Not just in music. #DreamTeam
