What do I listen to?

My top 3 music genre:• Contemporary R&b• Pop (indie)• Alternative pop rock

My top 3 favourite artists/ bands?• Sleeping with sirens• Years & years• The Weeknd

How do I obtain/ buy music?

• I usually obtain music from the internet, iTunes or a CD. The majority of my music will be illegally downloaded and virtual as this saves money and I tend to listen to my music on my phone.

• I tend to get both individual tracks, for example if I like a song I hear on the radio, and albums from my favourite artists.

• I don’t spend money on music unless I buy a CD or song from iTunes but this will be once every few months.

How do I listen to music?

• I will listen to music on my phone or through my laptop. I mostly use Spotify or Youtube for songs that I don’t own but will listen to the music app on my iPhone also.

• I listen to music a lot throughout the day, including at home in the morning and evening, on the way to and from college and during my free periods. I will also listen to the radio in the car and at work on Saturdays.

• I tend to go to gigs and concerts 2 to 3 times a year; I saw Lower Than Atlantis at the Roundhouse in December and The 1975 at Brixton Academy in March.

• I can spend anywhere between £16 and £80 on a concert or gig ticket.
