The musician's Revealing Music Selection: Exploring His Soundtrack of Life

The track that captured my heart
On a crisp seasonal day, I stayed home ill as a six-year-old. My mom asked, "Is it true you don't know the Beatles?" She played Help! the movie, after which I listened to it on loop through her music player for hours.

My karaoke go-to
Anything David Bowie are enjoyable, such as Fame or Queen Bitch. It's impossible to imitate Bowie, yet I adore the vibe. Lately I sang Save Me by Aimee Mann, which didn't engage the crowd, yet I enjoyed myself.

The first CD I bought
Peers enjoyed Paradise by Coldplay, thus I purchased Mylo Xyloto from the retail chain. This happened on my initial Los Angeles trip. I decided to buy albums. I bought Coldplay and Thriller during that visit.

The song I inexplicably know every lyric to
My older brother owned Incredibad by Lonely Island on CD. He had it on regularly while traveling. Being young and hearing something you're not supposed to proved thrilling.

The best song to play at a party
Best of My Love by the Emotions because it sounds happy. Its tempo is flawless. It's pleasant to hear, stylish yet complex, thus appealing to all.

The song I can no longer listen to
During my rock introduction, I loved Guns N' Roses. The first time I heard that famous track, I became obsessed, yet currently I avoid it.

The best song to cover
Currently, our group perform the Only Ones classic. I enjoy that piece.

The song that changed my life
I appear in the music video for that punk track. I acted as the youthful counterpart of the frontman. It was my first music video. It awakened me to louder music, pushing me into the alt scene.

The tear-jerking melody
Belinda Says by Alvvays.

The final farewell track
My dad and I have an inside joke about this topic. I'm uncertain about choosing it, though that Grizzly Bear song.
