Composer/musician/band you’d most want to have dinner with… Michael Jackson. I feel that he was one of the most creative and strategic musical geniuses of all time. Being able to ask questions referring to Michael’s creative process and writing techniques would be incredible. 

If I were stuck on an elevator and If you were stuck on an elevator and had to listen to one song forever, what would it be… “Zam the Assassin and the Chase Through Coruscant”. This song is from the soundtrack of Star Wars Attack of The Clones. I chose this because a lot goes on in this song and it’s very long. 11 minutes, so it’ll take longer for me to get tired of. 

Music is…ART.
