In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories was being humiliated at a piano recital by the teacher for not learning to read notes. I played by ear and they weren't a fan of that. Traumatizing at the time, hilarious looking back. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? James Lanman, Merry Christmas Darling I recorded this between a community college, a studio and while couch surfing. It's a Frankenstein of recordings painstakingly assembled into my first proper jazz album. Most folks will never know what it took to get this done. Very proud of it. 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. “Merry Christmas Darling (feat. Alanna Vicente)” I came across the original Carpenters version and on a whim I reached out to an amazing vocalist named Alanna Vicente and recorded this with her in the 11th hour. We did it in an hour and it's the most popular song I've ever recorded.
