Music changed me. When I was younger, I only listened to what my parents listened to and what they called good music. As I grew older, I started hearing the music that other students listened to and developed my own taste of music. I learned that I really like all types of music, Rap, Country, Pop, Rock, and CCM (Christian Contemporary Music). Netzakyah, a friend of mine, was one of the first people to introduce me to pop boy bands. I wasn't very open to different types of music entering middle school but after listening to what Netzakyah showed me, it grew on me and I liked it a lot. My first favorite artist was Alicia Keys, and I loved her style of music and romantic songs, My first favorite country artist was Taylor Swift. My first favorite rap artist was Drake. My first favorite CCM artist was Toby Mac. Music has and always will calm me and take me to a different dimension where nothing else matters but relaxing.
ROAD TRIP MIX: If your in the car on a road trip and are bored and want to listen to music check out these songs to keep you singing.
Only (Feat. Drake by Nicki Minaj) : Only by Nicki Minaj featuring Drake, Lil Wayne, and Chris brown. This song is directed towards young men and women it is not really a inspirational song it is mainly a get hype song that a lot of people like. I like this song because it has a nice beat and rhyme and I love Nicki Minaj so that is why it made my cuts.
Amnesia (5sos): Amnesia is song by the boy band 5 seconds of summer. This song is a romantic song about a break up and forgetting all the good memories within the relationship. This song is on my road trip mix because you can tell the amount of passion that went into this song and it really makes you feel that emotion, and thats why it made my cuts.
Jar of Hearts (Christina Perri): Jar of Hearts is a romantic song by Christina perri. It is an amazing song the depth and meaning behind this song gives me goosebumps. She has an amazing voice and the high notes in this song make you really want to tear up, which is why she made my cuts.
Trap queen (Fetty sap): Trap queen is a rap song by Fetty wap , and it is not appropriate for all ears, but it is a very good song. This song would fit in most for a party or club song to dance to, and get people hype so it makes the cut.
Whatever Makes You Happy(Jennifer Hudson): This song is off of the popular series of the show Empire. This song has a very nice beat and is a cool song to get you in a good mood and want to dance. This song made cuts because it is a cheerful song to make you want to dance.
Thinking out Loud (Ed Sheeran): This is a romantic song by Ed Sheeran . It is a calm song that makes you feel very emotional and really fall in love with his voice.This song made the cuts because of how it was a happy, but romantic song but didn't make you sad.
The Motto (Drake): This is a rap song by Drake and the song really emphasizes pride. This is a song that will definitely make you bob your head to the music and want to rap along with it. This song made cuts because of how catchy it is.
Safe and Sound (Taylor Swift): This is a country, romantic song by Taylor Swift. In this, she talks about heartbreak and being safe and secure with yourself. This song made the cut because of the meaning behind the words and she is awesome.
Another Now (H20): This song is off the track of the H20 adventures series. This song is a romantic song about that special someone changing your life and missing him or her. This song made my cuts because it has so much meaning with the simple words they say. "Another Now"
If This was a Movie (Taylor Swift): This song by Taylor Swift is a romantic song. Taylor sings about her love coming to get her but never showing up and happy endings.This song like all the others makes my cut because of the fuzzy feeling I get when listening to it.

Who's Underrated?
I think that Christina Perri is underrated. She is an American singer/songwriter and musician. Christina Perri is underrated because most people know her songs but not her name. When asking several people who she is, I received several answers such as I don't know and she sounds familiar. All these answers led me to the conclusion to call her underrated. Christina Perri is an amazing artist who doesn't get enough credit for her work. I strongly recommend listening to "Jar of Hearts", one of hit singles, and see if you like her.
