About Courtney Farren

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Spirited Away came out when I was 4 years old, and I stumbled upon it when I was 5. At the beginning of the movie, the theme, "One Summer's Day" played and I was inspired to write words to it. I credit that as being my first attempt at songwriting. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Modest Mouse, Building Nothing Out of Something The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds Various Artists, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (Music from the Motion Picture) Impossible question, but I chose three records that I feel impacted my relationship with music. Pet Sounds explains itself, but the others are their own story. The Charlie's Angels soundtrack I had on my CD player and introduced me to Bowie. 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. “Happy” Happy is special to me. It's my self preservation and an insight into my coping mechanisms that I hadn't acknowledged before writing the song. It also encapsulates the hope that is fundamental to my being, no matter the pain I may be experiencing. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I played a solo show in France to a full room of college students, and after one song everyone went silent and listened to me play despite it being more of a dance/club energy and I was playing guitar singing about heartbreak. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? So, so many things. I'm very curious about the future.
