I love music because it inspires me a lot. Let me just say singing is my talent. I believe that I was born with a passion for loving music. I cannot do anything without listening to music! I wish to go to a studio one day and record a song so I can hear my voice. People always tell me I can sing. And, honestly, I believe it. I know one day I will go to a studio to record a song. I wish to be the singer of a band one day. I also got talent for dancing. I love to dance, and I am good at it.

When I was 11 years old, I was very hyperreactive. I could not sit still. My family was worried, and my grandmother took me to a counselor. The counselor told her that she needed to entertain me because if she did not do anything, I would cry for no reason. My grandmother came up with the idea that I should join a dance group. I did not like this idea because I did not feel comfortable dancing in front of others. Her idea made me very sad, but she made me do it. When I arrived at the dance lesson, I really liked it. I fell in love with dancing. I kept dancing with many groups, and I went to many events dancing in front of 100 or more people. I love to dance, and I kept dancing until I was 14 years old. After that, I came to the US and everything changed. I did not dance anymore.

I love to listen to music when I feel low. Music inspires me. It gives me goosebumps. I love to hear music while walking at the park or when I am drawing. It helps me to stable my mind and have the passion for working hard. Music relieves my stress. I like to hear K-Pop and Bollywood music. Sometimes, it helps me to release my emotions from my body. I don’t sing well, and I know many other are like me who like to just listen to songs but are bad at singing. I just love to enjoy the songs.

Music is a part of my soul.
There is nothing better than listening to (or playing) music. I love listening to music. It calms my mind and makes me feel relaxed and alive. Everywhere I go, music is around me. Not only that, my love for music is one of the reasons why I am a DJ. I like playing my favorite music while spreading out my positive energy to other people around me. My passion for DJ started when I was in 7th grade, but it wasn’t until sophomore year that it started to grow even further. Looking back at the journey makes me proud, which encouraged me to keep moving forward. When I’m not DJ-ing, I listen to almost everything but mostly dance music and pop. My favorite artist is Martin Garrix. His songs make me happy and he’s the reason why I love being a DJ. Sometimes, I sing along with it, which releases a lot of emotions. Whenever I heard good tracks, I put them in my DJ library so I can play them to the crowd. As of now, I’m looking forward to get a gig and learning music production. I love being a DJ!
