On episode 3 of We Form The Future, "It is called "My Favorite Songs". The segment is about some favorite songs of mine that represent 5 genres: Hip-Hop, R&B, Rock & Roll, House and Reggae. I speak about the songs before they are played and in the end I talk about what the true meaning of music is to me and how playing uplifting and creative music can keep your spirits up during these pandemic times.
