In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is listening to 80s music on TV as a child and being completely fascinated by it. The colorful visuals and upbeat rhythms left a lasting impression on me, igniting a love for music that still burns bright today. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Beastie Boys, Paul's Boutique Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Os Ritmistas Brasileiros, Batucada Fantástica 'Paul's Boutique' sparked my interest in hip hop production. 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' is tied to my musical development in adolescence. 'Batucada Fantástica' sparked my interest in using Brazilian rhythms in my music.
