In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My dad was the song leader at our church- he would play a note on his pitch pipe and everyone would hum their starting note from our shape note hymnals. I still find this style of a capella singing hauntingly beautiful. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bill Evans Trio, Portrait In Jazz (Remastered) Remastered João Gilberto, Stan Getz, Getz/Gilberto (Expanded Edition) Ulrich Schnauss, A Strangely Isolated Place These three capture moments in music history that are especially beautiful to me. 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. “The Garden” This song was written in honor of my Grandmother, Elva. She loved her garden- I will never forget the sound of her whistling and laughing as she worked. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? It's still surreal to me every time I hear my music paired with a film or television story. It brings a complete alternate and new life to my creations that are beyond what I could have imagined. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would love to create the soundtrack to a haunting, cerebral video game.
