Jimi Hendrix, Metallica and Adele are just a few of the musicians that help divine the wide range of my love for music.
Since I was little I've always been intrigued by all genres of music, which at times comes as a surprise to others.
Because I'm a black man people have assumed I listen to just rap and r&b, and are taking back when play Train in Vain by The Clash in my car.
A lot of times I can see it in a person's eyes when they ask me what I'm listening to and I tell them Metallic.
I remember back in high school when I played football my teammates would look at me funny because I would use Master of Puppets as my hype song before games.
It is fun being able to surprise people with your range of music, I find it often allows me to have conversations with people I wouldn't normally talk to.
Like the time is talked to a tatted up white guy at hot topic about Rage Against the Machine or talking to one of my classmates about Mumford and Sons.
Yes, I do listen to rap and r&b, but to me music is music and I really don't care what genre it is. If I like the sound, I'll give it a chance.
