As a certified Directioner since 2012, I have always loved Harry Styles’ music! When I’m not listening to him, I typically have some indie pop playing in the background. You can also usually find me listening to Chappell Roan, The Marías, Tame Impala, and the Twilight soundtrack. I also attribute my master’s degree to Lil Nas X’s album because it helped me get through those late-night writing sessions! - What was your favorite subject in school?
