Music

I have a wide variety of musical interest. I enjoy most of the things my family listens to, taking into consideration that I am a Vice President of one of the nations top Gospel/Soul/Jazz/Blues Record labels (been that way since 1997), I have been around that music my whole life. Seeing how the apple does not fall far from the tree, I listen to most of those things that I grew up around. Songs that were my favorite in 1999, are still my favorite to this day. People could say I am bias toward the music I like, but it is what I am use to.

I have many favorite bands/musicians. But if I had to think of one "band" I enjoy, it would be Beyoncé Knowles all female band. Listening to her music combined with their instruments always appears to be upbeat and brings me joy. I try to stay away from her super worldly/secular music, and just enjoy her simple, happy stuff. I love how so old school she is, and how she channels her alter ego Sasha Fierce. I listen to her because she reminds me of music that I was raised on. For example, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston, and Lauryn Hill all have similar styles that Beyonce and her band try to portray.
