My major
My major at Columbia is music. I chose this major because the idea of me doing anything else with my life would be unacceptable, I truly love music, I really couldnt live without it. Throughout high school I mainly listened to Hip-Hop, but the past few years my music taste has grown to encompass just about everything. I listen to rock, hip hop, house, electro, blues, soul, funk, and everything inbetween. I recently became a memeber of a highly exclusive "invite only" online music sharing community and that has really honestly changed my life. Now almost instantly I have added about 3,000 songs to my library, spanning all genres. Listening to so much new music really opened my eyes to how derivitve music is from itself, how hip-hop came from funk and soul, house came from disco, rock and roll came from blues etc. I find it interesting to listen to a particular artist and hear what influenced them, and then see what influenced them, etc. It is just like the evolution of a species!

"It is just like the evolution of a species! "
ReplyDeleteawesome line...it's refreshing to know that you have an interest in the evolution of the genres. I think so many young artists lack the depth of history, it's so valuable if you're trying to create and find your own voice.
good luck with the tunes!
