What music helps you to relax?

 

These days, Bridgerton official playlist on Spotify. In general, any hip-hop violin instrumental mix. 

 

What was the last concert you went to?

 

My last concert was the Marley Brothers Legacy Tour in September 2024. 

 

What song reminds you of a good memory?

 

Untold Stories by Buju Banton. While in the choir, in high school, we learned an acapella arrangement of Untold Stories. One day in practice we were challenged to sing the song with our eyes closed (cuz we just weren’t getting it…lol). That did the trick! We got it and it was sooo good! The song reminds me of that perfect moment and all the great times I had with my choir sisters; I went to an all-girls high school. I often still sing that song with my eyes closed. 

 

What musical artist would people be surprised to know you like?

 

I'm a big Burna Boy fan, which is the Afrobeats genre.
