The Crazy Train of Life:
I was born in 1984. Two of my favorite uncles introduced my parents, and both of them were really into the music scene in Oregon (yes, connected to things like the Grateful Dead and the Cherry Poppinâ Daddies, for context). They were also very into wrestling. Often, both of these uncles, who were my favorites when I was a kid, would babysit me.

âMore Than a Melody: The Deep Roots of Music in Human Lifeâ
Everyone is familiar with music. It is said to be the food of the soul. We hear music everywhere: in shopping malls, concerts, halls and festivals.

She Writes Her Own Rules: Stunna Sandy and the Art of the Bad Gyal Anthem by NWO Sparrow
Bad B**** Music & Gold Dreams: The Rise of Stunna Sandy From the moment she laughed off my first question, âHow does it feel to know youâre next?â, I knew this wasnât just another interview. Most rising talents hope for the spotlight , Stunna Sandy commands it, with the casual magnetism of someone whoâs already won. Her voice, soft but with Brooklyn bravado and Egyptian pride, didnât pitch a dream, it narrated a takeover. By the time she casually mentioned âMake It Look Sexyâ was only her third song ever, it hit me, I wasnât just talking to a future star. I was talking to someone whoâd already outgrown the word ârising.â

Louder Than Legends: Why Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath Were More Influential Than The Beatles
When it comes to musical influence, The Beatles are often worshipped as untouchable godsâthe Mount Olympus of rock and pop. Their melodies, mop-tops, and psychedelic studio wizardry are burned into music history. But letâs be real: for countless working musicians, especially those who actually plug in an amp and bleed calluses onto their fretboards, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath rewired the entire musical universe in ways The Beatles never could.

The Song That Raised Me
The Song That Raised Me I was nine years old when I first heard âFast Carâ by Tracy Chapman. The song wasnât playing on the radio, nor did I stumble upon it through a playlist. It was a Sunday afternoon, and my father was cleaning out a box of old cassette tapes in our musty garage. He found one labeled âRoad Trip Mix â Summer â91â and slipped it into the dusty boombox like he was unsealing a memory. As the first melancholic chords hummed through the static, a quiet sort of reverence filled the space. My father paused, closed his eyes, and softly said, âThis one got me through a lot.â

It's 3 AM, and you're lying in bed trying to fall asleep when suddenly, without warning, your mind begins to play the opening bars of "Don't Stop Believin'" for what feels like the thousandth time today.
