In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My older brother's extensive music collection shaped my musical upbringing, exposing me to diverse styles from an early age. His passion for music sparked a fire within me, driving me to embark on my own journey of producing beats at the age of 14. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Mulgrew Miller, Live at Yoshi's, Vol. 1 (feat. The Mulgrew Miller Trio) Oscar Peterson, Jazz Piano Masters: Oscar Peterson, Vol. 2 These albums are the three of many that helped me formulate a style of playing jazz piano that I use in my own playing and music.
