I love music! Music is a huge part of my life. One of my favourite quotes is:
"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." -Plato
My parents loved music. While my dad mostly taught us about music "back in the days", my mom taught us to listen to cool up to date music but also to choose wisely what we listen to because music has a huge impact on us - on how we feel. Having three siblings and two parents I listened to all sorts of music. Everything was there from Techno to Rap, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s to "River dance", RnB to Backstreet Boys and Enya to classical music. While I really enjoyed all kinds of music I fell mostly in love with folk music - indie folk music! So here is a top 12 list of amazing artists I enjoy listening to! (its not all folk :) )
12) Frazey Ford
I fell in love with this Canadian unique voice and chilled music style
11) Angus & Julia Stone
they are such an amazing brother & sister duo from Australia
10) Jennie Abrahamson
She's from Sweden.... what more can I say... I just didn't know which song to pick :)
09) The Jezabels
again... great music from Australia and again I didn't know which song to use - just look up "time to dance" - another great song
08) Tina Dico
wonderful Lady from Denmark with some of the best lyrics. also check out "sacre coeur" "open wide" and "on the other side"
07) Hozier
it was just this year that I fell in love with this great musician from Ireland
06) Kings of Convenience

another very, very unique voice from the US but with a harp

I love this duo from the US, but it is so sad to hear that they are not really working together anymore

someone who knows me would have seen that coming. Tracy is on of the most amazing musicians I know. I just love her music and lyrics and how she addresses political things!! and again - it was hard to just pick one song!
