The musician's Candid Music Selection: Unpacking The star's Soundtrack of Life

My initial musical crush
One autumn afternoon, I was home sick as a six-year-old. My mother wondered, "Is it true you don't know the Beatles?" She played Help! the motion picture, after which I listened to it on loop using her device for hours.

The track I perform at sing-alongs
Anything David Bowie is really fun, including Fame and Queen Bitch. Nobody replicates Bowie, but I love the energy. Lately I sang Save Me from Aimee Mann, that made people lose interest, though I loved it.

The debut physical music I owned
Friends were into Paradise from Coldplay, thus I purchased Mylo Xyloto from the retail chain. It occurred during my debut California journey. I thought to purchase records. I bought Coldplay and Thriller on the same day.

The music with all words in my head
My sibling had Incredibad by the humorous ensemble on CD. He played it constantly while traveling. Experiencing something material considered off-limits felt exciting.

The best song to play at a party
The Emotions' Best of My Love since it feels joyful. It has a perfect beat. It's pleasant to hear, stylish yet complex, so it suits everyone.

The track I avoid now
As I explored rock music, I loved Guns N' Roses. When I first listened to that famous track, I became obsessed, but now I can't hear it.

The best song to cover
Right now, my band and I are covering that space-themed song. I enjoy that piece.

The song that changed my life
I appear in the music video for the Pup song. I played the younger version of the singer. This marked my video debut. It revealed heavier sounds, guiding me to indie realms.

The emotional track
That Alvvays number.

The song I'd like played at my funeral
My dad and I have an inside joke about this topic. I might not actually select it, but Half Gate by Grizzly Bear.
