SRS: You’ve been featured on Blink-182’s “She’s Out of Her Mind” for music and piano. Will you continue to play and or write for your own music?
ALB: That wasn’t really supposed to happen, I just went in there and started playing and they were recording me then my dad told me that they were going to put it on the album. It was so cool. But yes! I’ve always been in the studio with my dad and it’s fun to start working on my own projects.

SRS: Absolutely love that you lead a cruelty free and vegan lifestyle. Why is that important to you? And what advice would you give to someone who wants to become vegan?
ALB: I’ve always loved animals. If you wouldn’t eat a cat or dog, why would you eat a pig.
