The music in my life

Hi everybody! Today I will talk about a very special and exciting topic for me, which has been present in my life for as long as I can remember: my experience with music.

I came in contact with music thanks to my father. I remember that when I was a child I always saw my father listening to bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, which made me slowly approach music, especially rock. I also remember that my father always took me to the San Felipe 's theater to see the rock and blues bands, something I liked quite a bit because the atmosphere and music played by the musicians on their shows were amazing to me.

However, my deep relationship with music began the day that my father gave me my first guitar, at Christmas 2015. It was a very wonderful moment for me, I was imagining that I would be a rockstar hahaha. It's been many years since I started playing guitar and   I've learned a lot about music. Sometimes I doubt very much about whether I'm good as a guitarist and musician, but I love playing, learning, improvising and composing new songs.

Music is also important to me because it has helped me form important bonds with other people. I met my two best friends thanks to music, in fact they also play musical instruments: one is a bassist and the other is a drummer. Every time we've met we'ven talked about our musical tastes, even for a while we had a funk rock band where we played a lot of Red Hot Chilli Peppers songs. I have very beautiful memories with both my best friends and music.

I could hardly describe myself without considering music, as I consume it for most of the day. When I do universitary assignments I listen to my favorite bands and in my free time I dedicate myself to play the guitar or looking for new musical artists. It's an essential part of me, it is even one of the reasons why I decided studying journalism.

I think music is the most direct art, it comes through the ear, and it goes to the heart.

Oh! I almost forgot! I haven't told you about the kind of music I listen to. When I was little I listened a lot of rock, heavy metal and punk rock music; today I hear a little bit of all the musical genres. However, in recent months I have been listening to a lot of psychedelic rock, indie rock, funk, grunge, classical music and jazz (dude, i love jazz, is beautiful). Artists and musical groups that I consider very influential and important to me are Alice in Chains, TOOL, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Chancho en Piedra, Tame Impala,  Iron Maiden, Radiohead, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and the most important, Pink Floyd. <3
