Music

When I was in elementary school, I loved listening to Anime soundtracks, mainly because I loved watching Japanese cartoon and enjoyed playing video games. A couple of years later, I started playing basketball during my high school years. At that time, I loved the beat and rhythm of hip hop, R&B, and especially rap, because black people were the main icon when it comes to basketball. When I was in college and my twenties, I started listening to pop music and was into rock band.

Nowadays, I enjoy listening to classical music and appreciate opera singing. I turn on the classical radio channel at night and during the time I do my life drawing. It really quiets down my surrounding and makes me relaxed.

I don't think it's the age that changes of music taste in different life stages, but rather the energy level of a person. Like when I listen to soft Jpop while I was working out, I could not feel any energy from my body at all. Whereas when I listen to high tempo techno music, or fast beat hip hop, or rock'n roll, I start to feel the power in the music, and thus the energy level rises.

So, whenever you are having a bad day or feeling lousy for no reasons, why not try some happy music like a sunny and optimistic reggae music that will get you on track?
