Mixed CD Story

18 & Counting

Growing up music never meant much to me. It wasn’t until 5th grade when my taste for music sweetened, when a fellow classmate got me interested in 50 Cent’s “In Da Club.” After that day my love for the radio grew immensely. I made my parents go to Circuit City and buy me a stereo that weekend. The radio stations were my escape. I used to be interested in Hip-Hop, and even mild Rap, then my taste changed to Alternative, but no one can ever forget my first love for Pop! (And I think I speak for a lot of people on that last statement). It’s funny how I went through so many stages and ended up now with a passion for dance music, for the simple reason that it can always get me in the mood for anything. I appreciate artists over the country as well such as Inna and Akcent, from Romania. There up-tempo songs can always make me move. Reflecting upon all this, it’s funny because with different stages of music also came different chapters in my life as well. And given my birthday was right around the corner a special mix for turning the big one-eight seemed like the perfect gift for me. Looking back upon everything I never do regret my tastes in music during each stage and still do enjoy listening to those old songs that have meaning to me from time to time. I look at it as another chapter in life, that with music there also comes life, and it continues going on – 18 & counting.
