Siri not playing music from my library on CarPlay

Hi all,

I have this issue with CarPlay (and it’s now doing the same even when not connected to the car) where, whenever I ask Siri to play a specific artist I KNOW I have in my library, it refuses to pull from my library and instead plays a radio from Apple Music.

Please note:

1) this is NOT a CarPlay set up issue in that I have no trouble connecting to CarPlay.

2) phone is up to date on everything.

3) I am in the US.

This is driving me nuts. Help please?

thanks!
