My favourite music
Well, my taste in music varies. Um, I do like a lot of different genres and I like a lot of different groups.
So, as for groups I really like Maroon 5, Mumford and Sons, James Blunt, Imagine Dragons and X Ambassadors and – and so on, really.
Uh, music for me also depends on my mood and what I’m doing. If, um, for example, I get up in the morning I actually like really upbeat music, um, I like to wake up, so I would play something like maybe David Guetta or maybe Avicii, something to wake up in the morning.
Also if I go to the gym, I would like really upbeat music because, um, you know, it really gets you going, it gets you really ready to exercise.
Um, if I want to relax, I actually would like to listen to Spanish guitar music but without any words though. And, speaking of Spanish guitar music, I also like to listen to music in Spanish. I like artists such as Enrique Iglesias and Juan Magan.
