In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. The first time pop music hit me was from the radio playing on the school bus to primary school. I remember hearing Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band and being blown away. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bob Dylan, Blood On the Tracks The Rolling Stones, Exile On Main Street Van Morrison, Moondance Blood on the Tracks for its emotional depth and poetic storytelling, Moondance for its smooth fusion of jazz, soul, and pop with perfect melodies, and Exile on Main St. for its raw energy and genre-blending rock & roll spirit. 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. “The Shadow” This was the first song I wrote for the new album telling tales from the streets of 18th Century Covent Garden. I guess you could call it a blues with a twist. It's about what happens when you make a deal with the Devil.”
