I'm obsessed with music.

Always have been and always will be.

I was basically in the womb when I was first exposed to music, and grew up listening to artists like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Queen... the list goes on for miles.

I mostly have my dad to thank for that. My mom contributed her favorite artists as well, but my dad is the ultimate fan of rock and roll.

You would think that since I grew up listening to so much music that I'd be sick of it, but that's actually not the case.

I've grown to appreciate the art of it, get lost in it, and have it help me through some of my darkest (and even most happiest) of times.

There's a song for every emotion you can feel, there's lyrics to describe everything you're going through, and there's beats that can make you want to get up and dance or cry everything out.

My obsession with music (mostly starting to discover it on my own) began while I was in the seventh grade. I followed an influencer that I thought was super cool and basically tried to mimic her style, and whenever she posted about songs she liked, of course I had to listen.

That's when I heard a song called 'No Light, No Light' by Florence and the Machine. It was unlike any other song I've heard and I became instantly obsessed and listened to the rest of her discography.

Florence led me to discover other artists like Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Bon Iver... up to artists that are popular now like Billie Eilish, Twenty One Pilots, and The 1975.

Music is my life. It's something that will always be there for you and can make you feel like you have something that can relate to what you're going through.

Music is a powerful thing, and I'll always be grateful for it.
