In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I grew up in a miliary barracks close to Accra in Ghana. I loved music from a very early age. My first memory is hearing the military band playing Bob Marley's "Coming in from the Cold" which started my love of Reggae Music. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Mos Def, Black On Both Sides Stevie Wonder, Songs in the Key of Life Each of these albums have inspiration and transcendence to me. They represent true artistry at its apex. They have all also stood the test of time and resonated through generations. 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. “Rise” "Rise" is special to me because it articulates the sentiments of the times in which we are. It is a song that rhythmically and lyrically represents a call to action for unity among all of humanity. "Rise" presents a fresh new sound in African music.
