What Role Music Plays in My Life.

 In the novel “The Other Wes Moore” the type of music that played a special role in the other Wes Moore’s life is Hip Hop. For me music also plays a very special role in my life. It serves as a distraction from all of the things that happen to affect me, just like how video games help me. Well when I'm not in an area to play video games like my house, I love to listen to music it makes the days go faster at work and it makes the days better at school. I listen to all types of music I don’t just stick to one specific genre of music all the time, but I do have favorite artists. 

One of my personal favorite artists is one that is not yet famous and his name is Shy High, he makes different types of music too and does a lot of beat switches within his songs so if that’s something you think you’ll like I definitely recommend checking him out. For me playing music distracts me from all of the hardships I may go through throughout some days and just being able to sit back and relax while listening to my favorite tunes is one of the best parts of the day because then all I can think about is the music and it distracts me from all the thoughts of what went wrong throughout the day. Personally I like to blast my favorite music sometimes too and just dance to it because it boosts my morale for the day. I even listen to music while doing homework and even while I’m doing this assignment specifically, currently I am listening to Fly Out West by Yot Club, I recommend checking that one out too it’s a very upbeat song and I find it almost impossible not to jam out to it. Growing up music has always played a big role in my life and this is because my dad used to always keep his record tapes from all of his favorite bands such as Slipknot, Nirvana, Metallica, Queen and many more so he was a big influence in my music taste and he also loved all genres of music just like I do. I use music as a sort of escape from reality just like I use my video games. It helps me cope with things easier and I’ve used it in many difficult situations in my life. In my car I love to blast my music until I get to my destination and even when I’m not driving I always try to have control over the music unless someone else wants to of course, but especially when my dad picks me up from work I always make him listen to my music to see what kinds of songs of mine he likes and generally speaking he likes almost all of them and we start jamming out together in the car. My mom doesn’t necessarily like all of my music she’s more into the oldies but there are a few songs of mine she likes, but to me music plays a very significant role in my life and you can even say it brings my family together when we’re on long drives somewhere.
