Music is a big part of any person’s life and I personally connect each song or singer with a specific time of my life, or with a specific situation, or even a person.
I do not play any musical instrument or sing, but I cannot imagine a day without listening to the music that I like.
I used to be the child that could not stop moving! I always used to be a happy child and I was dancing over every song that was playing on TV or radio.
When I was in primary school, my sister used to have an iPod and we were always playing our own ‘’game’’, we would surprise each other with a song and one of us had to guess the title and the singer.
When I grew up a little bit, I remember that my mum let me use the computer to play some games.
My favourite part of using the computer was that I could visit YouTube and discover new songs of the singers that I used to like.
I was a big fan of Bruno Mars, in all of my childhood years! So, I was always learning the lyrics of all his songs and singing them alone in my room.
I was so obsessed with him and his songs and Watched his video clips for hours! I still hear some songs of Bruno Mars and I always feel that nostalgic feeling of the childhood years and it is something that makes me happy.
I also, used to listen to Avril Lavigne and Miley Cyrus.
To be honest, Miley Cyrus was my favorite between the two of them, I was looking up to her, she was my idol. Of course, I’ve watched every single movie of Miley Cyrus, and my forever favourite was ‘’The Last Song’’, where she sings the song ‘’when I look at you’’ which I like soo much!
Lockdown has allowed me time to watch again this movie and it really made me cry, I just love Miley and her songs.
However, when I went to high school, whenever I was sad, I listened to Lana Del Ray songs, so I always relate Lana with sadness. And you know, in high school, is the time that you are growing up and more things can make you feel sad, in comparison to the childhood years, so Lana Del Ray was my favourite in that period!
But whenever I was happy, I used to listen to Rihanna, Akon, Jay Sean, Chris Brown and many old school R’n’b songs, which I still love to listen to.
I really like all the singers that I have mentioned, but as I was growing up, my favourite style of music is Greek music.
I have always listened to Greek music, artists like Nikos Oikonomopoulos, Nikos Vertis, George Sambanis and many other Greek artists, especially this period that I am in Cardiff and far from my home.
Greek songs make me feel like I’m home and it makes me feel happier!
If you have never heard of any type of Greek music you should take a listen to some of the artists I have Mentioned, perhaps they will make you feel happy too!
