I always have music going but it varies depending on the scene. I listen to a wide array of genres (r&b, hip hop, country, alternative, rap, blues, jazz, pop, rock) and prefer a song to just plain music. I make a lot of different playlist in general -I believe firmly in having theme songs for my life. For the past few days I have on heavy rotation Erykah Badu, Adele, Beyonce, Maroon Five, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Janet, John Legend, Rihanna, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Drake, Kanye, Disney Scores, Trey Songs, Justin Bieber, Tupac and Ray Charles. Not necessarily just for writing though.
