In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. During my earliest years, my family lived in Mexico City. The mariachi bands made a big impression on me. I was fascinated by the the skill of the accordion player, the powerful brass section, and the joy they expressed as they played. Music is life! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bill Withers, Menagerie Carole King, Tapestry Mannheim Steamroller, Fresh Aire III Carole King and Bill Withers are an inspiration to me in songwriting, and the early Mannheim Steamroller instrumental work has been a big influence since childhood.
