The musician's Honest Playlist: Unpacking His Soundtrack of Life

The track that captured my heart
During a fall day, I felt unwell and stayed in at age six. My mother wondered, "Is it true you don't know the Beatles?" She started Help! the movie, after which I listened to it on loop using her device throughout the day.

The song I do at karaoke
David Bowie songs provide great entertainment, like Fame or Queen Bitch. Nobody replicates Bowie, but I love the energy. Recently I performed Save Me by the artist Aimee Mann, which bored everyone, yet I enjoyed myself.

The debut physical music I owned
Peers enjoyed Paradise by the band Coldplay, so I bought Mylo Xyloto at the bookstore. This happened on my initial Los Angeles trip. I thought to purchase records. I bought Coldplay and Thriller simultaneously.

The track whose lyrics I memorized
My sibling had Incredibad by Lonely Island in physical format. He played it constantly during drives. As a youth listening to content deemed inappropriate was really fun.

The perfect gathering tune
The Emotions' Best of My Love since it feels joyful. It has a perfect beat. It's pleasant to hear, stylish yet complex, thus appealing to all.

The song I can no longer listen to
As I explored rock music, I was into Guns N' Roses. The first time I heard that famous track, I grew fascinated, though presently I skip it.

The perfect number to reinterpret
Right now, our group perform the Only Ones classic. I adore that track.

The transformative music
I'm featured in the visual for that punk track. I portrayed the younger self of the frontman. This marked my video debut. It revealed heavier sounds, pushing me into the alt scene.

The emotional track
Belinda Says by Alvvays.

The memorial service music
There's a running gag regarding this matter. I might not actually select it, though that Grizzly Bear song.
