Chris Hanson

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Seeing Michael Jackson on stage wasn’t just entertainment, it was electricity. The way he moved, the way he commanded silence, the way an entire crowd felt like it was breathing with him. It wasn’t just about the music. It was about connection. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Beyoncé, BEYONCÉ JAŸ-Z, The Blueprint Michael Jackson, Bad M.J reinvented music. He connected with people around the globe. Beyonce changed the way artist release music. Jay Z had been dropping gems in his music since hard knock life. He's a street poet you just have to listen. 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. “Wrong Kind of Right” Because it's about transitioning from being a lesbian to being a straight man now. It's hard to let go of that "lesbian" label and live in your straightness now. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Meeting my producer, Callisto. They were the first person who truly believed in me, the first to say, “You can do this,” and mean it. They were always writing, always creating, sending me songs, asking, “How does this sound?" Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I don’t dream about performing under flashing lights. I don’t crave spectacle. I just want to be heard. I want someone, somewhere, to press play and feel seen. If that song earns a Grammy, it won’t just be mine it will belong to all of us.
