I don’t currently have an Apple Music subscription, but I use Spotify regularly. I’m very comfortable navigating streaming apps, discovering new music, and building playlists.

My favorite song hits me in a really emotional way. It feels like it understands me without me having to say anything. When I listen to it, I get this warm, almost bittersweet feeling—like I’m remembering moments I didn’t even know I missed. It gives me a sense of connection and comfort, and it always puts me in a better headspace. Even on days when I’m overwhelmed, that song makes everything feel a little more manageable.

Yes, I’ve played music in the past. I’m not actively performing right now, but those years really shaped how I listen. Playing gave me a good sense of rhythm, dynamics, and how different parts of a song fit together. Even now, when I’m just listening casually, I can’t help but pay attention to things like balance, transitions, and overall feel. It definitely makes me more thoughtful and detailed when giving feedback on music
