About Doug Hammer

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember my Dad playing records when I was very little, and I would sing along. I was entranced by all the music I heard. Sometimes I wanted to hear the same song over and over. This got me to the piano at age 5. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Peter Gabriel, So (Special Edition) Stephan Eicher, 1000 Vies Thomas Dolby, Aliens Ate My Buick I've always loved Pop music and these 3 albums are my tops. Peter Gabriel, Thomas Dolby and Stephan Eicher: all creative geniuses. The songs, the arrangements and production, the performances and the sonics. Such emotional landscapes. 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. “Wider Da” This song was composed by Stephan Eicher with lyrics by Martin Suter. I just love Stephan's melody and vocal phrasing and I tried to replicate it on piano. It has a beautiful, sunny, chill mood to it. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I had an opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall. The piano was perfect and I was in heaven. And this happened on my birthday! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I have many projects in the works and I won't be slowing down anytime soon. I feel like I'm just getting started.
