The musician's Candid Song Choices: Unpacking The star's Favorite Tunes

The first song I fell in love with
During a fall day, I was home sick as a six-year-old. My mother wondered, "Is it true you don't know the Beatles?" She started Help! the film, and then I listened to it on loop on her iPod all day long.

The song I do at karaoke
David Bowie songs is really fun, such as Fame or Queen Bitch. Nobody replicates Bowie, yet I adore the vibe. I recently tried Save Me by Aimee Mann, which didn't engage the crowd, yet I enjoyed myself.

The first CD I bought
Kids my age liked 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 on the same day.

The music with all words in my head
My older brother owned Incredibad from the comedy group on CD. He had it on regularly while traveling. Experiencing something content deemed inappropriate felt exciting.

The best song to play at a party
This classic from The Emotions as it appears cheerful. The rhythm is ideal. It's pleasant to hear, stylish yet complex, so it suits everyone.

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, but now I can't hear it.

The ideal track to perform
Right now, we musicians perform the Only Ones classic. I adore that track.

The life-altering track
I participated in the clip for Guilt Trip by Pup. I portrayed the younger self of the singer. It introduced me to video production. It introduced intense audio, pushing me into the alt scene.

The tear-jerking melody
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.
