music is my special interest. i grew up in a very music focused home and music brings me extreme comfort. i truly believe there are few things that help unite people more than music, and that there are few things that affect us as deeply as music does. did you know that music has been shown to help patients with dementia, alzheimers, and parkinson's? music evokes emotions and memories within us even if we don't realize it. i think its power to do so, along with the extensive history behind all genres, is something incredible. i'm an enjoyer of almost all genres. (yes, including rap, country, cultural music, etc.) the only genres i don't enjoy are those used maliciously. (ex: NSBM.) i LOVE listening to music i haven't heard before and doing discography deep dives, so please feel free to suggest something for me to give a listen!

my favorite bands are Kanonenfieber and Ghost!
i've seen Ghost live twice (2023 + 2025), and i'm waiting desperately for Kanonenfieber to come to the US :") i've also seen Weird Al Yankovic live + got to meet him!
i love collecting physical media, and this extends to music as well! i currently own 104 cassette tapes, 18 cds, and 15 vinyl records! i inherited a JVC PC-XC30 Boombox, who is my pride & joy, and i also own a record player and portable cassette player.
i love singing, and i own a few instruments but i don't really play much. i have a ukulele, electric guitar, and keyboard that i need to pick back up...
