MULTIPLE LITERACIES
HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF MY LITERACIES
• A passion for all things music
• (EDM) Electric Dance Music
• Music Festivals
MUSIC
Music is something that has been a part of my life for quite some
time now. It gets you through the ups and downs, takes you on an
emotional roller coaster of sorts. I do not just stick to one genre I love anything that sounds good
and achieves the mood it is trying to portray.
To me it’s about more than liking something because your friends
do or you were raised listening to it. I like to expand my horizons
and always keep an open mind to new and old music. Bob Marley
once said “One thing about music when it hits you feel no pain”. I
live by that, music is a way to let go of the past or future and live
in the present.

have in common…

THE MANY TYPES OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC
Music and Arts Festivals
By definition a Music Festival is an entertainment event featuring a number of musical performers or bands of a certain genre or centered on a theme. But in reality it is more than that. It is a gathering of creative minds from all over where people meet and converge for a common purpose. To share, communicate and learn from one another. It is based on a central theme dedicated to Arts and Music. And that alone is enough to bring hundreds of thousands of people to one place for one amazing weekend.

CONCLUSIONIn conclusion it’s all about the music for me. Your
supposed to live your life and chase what makes you happy. It’s because of the music I’ve listen to and the concerts I’ve attended that makes me who I am today. I hope to turn my education into a career for promoting and coordinating these amazing events. It’s a career based on passion and constantly evolving materials and followers. So let loose a bit go enjoy the world but make sure you do so listening to your favorite song.
