Over the weekend, I played around with a collection of old 8-track tapes. I felt like I was treasure hunting as I came across various different classics in 8-track form.
As a woman, I find it really inspirational to see many talented girls express themselves through music. A lot of my close friends sing, play instruments, or produce and write their own songs, and I’m truly impressed by how much creativity and artistry they put into their work.

Music has always been a huge part of my life. I’m the type of person to sing in the shower, listen to my favorite songs while getting ready in the morning, and occasionally dance in the middle of a store when a good song comes on.
I recently applied for an internship at Warner Music Group (WMG). I recognized the name but later realized that this is one of the largest labels in the world.
