Music Throughout My Life

I cannot even remember when I never listened to music. music has changed my life as a whole. Without music in my life, I really don't know where I would be. I started listening to music at the age of four with my mom and dad. I didn't really have a favorite or idol then but when I listened to music with my parents, it usually was Journey, the Eagles, or even Michael Jackson. I started loving music and the beat of the drums even! I loved hearing the electric guitar too! I remember just dancing whenever I heard Michael Jackson, he was my favorite when I was a child. This was just the beginning of a journey with music. Once I started growing up and getting to age eleven or twelve, I started listening to music my older sisters were listening to. They were listening to artists such as Eminem, Dr. Dre and Notorious B.I.G. I grew from loving classic rock and classic pop to enjoying old school rap and hip-hop. Hearing people rhyme from word to word was music to my ears. I liked the up-beat rhythm to hip-hop. For years and years, I would keep listening to it and it would never stop. My favorite artist was Eminem because he was unique with his lyrics and he had imaged his life around hip-hop. To this very day, I still listen to hip-hop and rap. But in the recent years, I have grown to like some sorts of reggae and alternative music such as Rebelution, The Holdup, and Coldplay. This sort of music has taught me how to think about how life is and makes me think that life is truly one of a kind. Music has now taught me to cherish my life. My favorite artist now is Drake. He is an R&B artist and has become a worldwide entertainer. My musical journey has changed drastically since I was a child. I still do listen to classic rock and pop though, but not as much. I have grown to enjoy certain types of music for certain types of reasons. Hopefully, my musical journey won't stop anytime soon!
