Do you listen to the radio? If so, how often?

I haven’t listened to the radio in ages.

How often do you listen to music?

Every. Single. Day!

How often do you discover music? And how do you discover music?

Weekly, I would say. Online, through people I know on Social Media, and through partaking in challenges like this one.

What’s a song or album have you enjoy that you wish had more recognition?

Probably loads but, right now, off the top of my head, I can’t think of a single one.

What’s your favourite song of all time?

This has to be the dumbest question anyone has ever asked me and impossible to answer.

Has your taste in music evolved over the years?

Yes, of course it has. But I still have a preference for female singers and vocals and big belting ballads. But I’ll pretty much listen to anything, and give it a go.
