What are your favorite genres of music?

Indie and R&B.

Do you play an instrument, if so, what and for how long?

I kind of play the guitar. I always wanted to learn the piano.

What appeals to you about music?

There’s a song and a melody that matches any mood I’m in.

Tina Turner. I’ve had a crush on her ever since.
