In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
When I was 7 years old, my babysitter brought over a portable CD player & Red Hot Chili Peppers' "By the Way" album. I fell in love immediately. I remember listening to that album on repeat a ton growing up & they're still one of my favorite bands.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, How Fly
Mac Miller, K.I.D.S. (Deluxe)
Red Hot Chili Peppers, By the Way (Deluxe Edition)
These albums are some of my all-time favorites, even though it was hard to narrow it down. These all inspired me to make music, in one way or another. RIP Mac.

“Shelter Island”
This album is very special to me, but this specific song stands out in my opinion. It perfectly captures the feeling of one of my favorite places in the world, Shelter Island.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Getting to work with artists like Iamsu! and Sir Michael Rocks was pretty crazy for me. Listened to them both a ton growing up and it was pretty special to have that opportunity.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I just want to go on tour. I love performing & hope I have that opportunity in the future.
