In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Rihanna’s “Umbrella” came out when I was 7 & I was obsessed with the song! I wanted to memorise all the lyrics but I didn’t know where to find them so I sat with my mp3 player and a piece of paper and would play / pause after each line to write down! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bruno Mars, Doo-Wops & Hooligans (Deluxe) Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Lana Del Rey, Norman Fucking Rockwell! MBDTF concept is so clear from start to finish, it’s like watching a movie in your head. Doo-Wops was the first album I ever bought, I couldn't stop playing it for a whole year. I can’t count the number of times I’ve sang “Happiness is a butterfly”. 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. “shadow” shadow is my debut single. Music has allowed me to be vulnerable & honest. I don’t think I’d be able express half of the feelings I feel if it wasn’t for music. It’s special not only as my first song but also as the first page of that chapter.
