In the first episode of Soundtracks, I take you through a few songs that have had a significant impact on my life. From a song that reminds me of the precious times I spent with my family to one that is attached to a cringeworthy memory, this episode is meant to give you some insight into who I am. I also read out two listeners' submissions that demonstrate how music can hype us up when we are down and help us realise that we are enough just the way we are.

Music has cheered me on through my happy times and held me through some hard ones. I created this space for us to share, reflect, connect and appreciate music. I want this to be a community and a space for introspection. I hope you enjoyed this mini episode/introduction. I hope you leave feeling like you know me a little better.
