1- What kind of music do you like? Why?
I enjoy a mix of pop, indie, and instrumental music. It really depends on my mood, but I love songs with strong lyrics or calming melodies. Music helps me focus, relax, or sometimes just vibe out. I’m also drawn to emotional soundtracks from movies or games. They often hit deeper than regular songs.
2- Can you play a musical instrument? If so, what do you play?
I can play a bit of keyboard, not a pro, but enough to enjoy learning simple tunes. I picked it up out of curiosity and found it fun. It’s a great way to understand music structure. I’d love to get better with practice. It’s pretty relaxing too.
3- Do you know the band named Metallica? If so, do you like them?
Yes, I know Metallica! I’m not a hardcore fan, but I respect their style and impact on rock music. “Nothing Else Matters” is a song I actually like from them, it’s more melodic and emotional. Their energy is intense and raw, which is cool at the right moment. Just not my go-to for daily listening.
4- Do you like to listen to country music? Who is your favorite country singer?
I don’t listen to country music that often, but I do like some songs by Taylor Swift from her country era. Her storytelling is strong, even in her earlier tracks. Country music feels very heartfelt and rooted in real life. It’s nice when I’m in a reflective mood.
5- Do you like to listen to Broadway musicals? What is your favorite Broadway musical show?
I do enjoy Broadway musicals! I love “Hamilton” for its unique mix of history and hip-hop. The lyrics are smart and the rhythm keeps you hooked. Musicals are a great way to experience stories through song and performance. They’re like emotional roller coasters with melodies.
6- Have you ever wanted to become a famous singer? Why or why not?
I’ve imagined it, just for fun. Being a famous singer looks exciting but also super demanding. I’d probably enjoy singing behind the scenes more than the spotlight. It’s the creative part that appeals to me, not so much the fame.
7- Can you play piano? Do you like to play it or listen to it? Why or why not?
I can play a little piano, basic stuff. I enjoy listening to piano music, especially soft pieces and jazz. It’s calming and elegant, great for focus or relaxing. Playing it gives a nice sense of rhythm and emotion. But I’m more of a listener than a player.
8- If you could start a band, what type of music would you play? Why?
If I started a band, we’d probably play acoustic pop or indie. I like songs that tell a story and have a chill, meaningful vibe. It’s the kind of music that makes people feel something without being too loud. It’s simple but deep.
9- If you were to write a song, what would it be and why?
If I were to write a song, it’d probably be about nostalgia or growing up. Those feelings are so universal and easy to connect with. I’d want it to have a mellow sound and reflective lyrics. Something people can relate to quietly.
10- Do you like to listen to classical music? Why or why not?
Yes, I do enjoy classical music sometimes. It’s especially great when I need to concentrate or de-stress. The complexity and beauty in classical compositions are timeless. I admire how much emotion can be conveyed without any words. It’s powerful in a very subtle way.
