background
Music has been incredibly important to me from a young age. From begrudgingly listening to 80's country hits with my mom, to growing up alongside the creation of today's streaming platforms (iTunes, Napster, Grooveshark, etc.), to getting in my first car crash because I was headbanging too hard, I've spent a large majority of my life with headphones on.
• When I was 8, I started to diverge from my parents' music, and into alternative, dark pop. Demon Days by Gorillaz, was packed full of interesting instrumentation and lyrical styling I'd never heard before.
• When I was 13, I fell in love with melodic dubstep-- Skrillex's Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites and Bangarang were just as chaotic as my impending puberty.
• When I went away to college, I fell down a rap/hip-hop rabbit hole. Mac Miller's Watching Movies with the Sound Off, Kendrick Lamar's DAMN., and Tyler, the Creator's Flower Boy were beaten to a pulp on Spotify.
• In my adult life, I've been largely into house and neo-psychedelia. Kaskade's Redux 003 might take the cake for "most listens", but Kaytranada's Bubba is up there, too. Beyond house music, I've been embarrassingly obsessed with neo-psychedelia. Tame Impala has a special place in my heart-- all of his albums absolutely slap.
