So I have always been the type of person that has an eclectic musical taste. Living on the East Coast in New York and Virginia, I had the opportunity to be exposed to many types of music. There is a Indian, Asian, and Latin population, so music was blended -and in my eyes- very beautiful. From opera, bassanova, salsa, to classical, to Merengue, I was exposed to artists such as the Kumbia Kings, Chris Lee, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Bob Marley, Shan and Key Key.
So now that I am implanted in the Southwest, my tastes are revered as strange, which is okay with me. I choose to listen to music that reflects what I like so my top bands right now are Coldplay, The Wanted, Muse, Maroon 5 and Armik. I have a great affinity for Howard Shore, the composer of the Lord of the Rings movie scores, as well as Daft Punk, who was responsible for the Tron Legacy music.
In saying all of this I encourage each and every one of you to step outside of your box. If you have time, when you're driving in your car or on your computer, just hit the seek button and flip through the many stations available to you. You never know you could find a station or a group that you've never been aware of and it might introduce you to a new favorite band or group.
Music to me invokes emotions and feelings, almost like a spiritual experience. Harmonies and keys and chords can make you dance, cry, scream, love and feel. So why not surround yourself with it? I start and end my day with music and try to hum at work (if I can). So leave your favorite music bands and artists below. Who knows, you could introduce me to someone new!
With Love,
