Place MY playlists are decorated with a wide selection of genres which I love; from indie rock, such as early Arctic Monkeys albums and dream pop, such as Beach House songs, to rap and R&B music, with favour- ites by Mac Miller and Ken- drick Lamar. My favourite genre, however, is indie rock; some of my favourites from this genre are by a local band called Roża. I'D love to have an entire holiday dedicated mainly to watching West End or Broadway shows and mu- sicals. REASONS To Stay Alive by Matt Haig, a nonfiction novel that recounts the author's ex- perience living with depres- sion and anxiety disorder. Haig shares the lessons that living with and overcoming his struggles with mental illness taught him, and his reasons to stay alive. A friend lent this book during a dif- ficult period in my life. It is accessible, to the point, and relatable, but most of all in- spiring. MY favourite and most mov- ing films I've ever watched are The Shawshank Redemption, The Truman Show, Shutter Island, The Notebook, The Pianist, Whiplash and Soul. YOUTUBE is defintely an essential for me as a per- former and singer. I tend to watch videos such as masterclasses on a piece that I would be working on at the time and ex- cerpts of performances from operas and musicals.
