I</SPAN><SPAN>&nbsp;spent a significant part of my childhood in the</SPAN><SPAN>&nbsp;Philippine Islands, so I love beaches, coconut juice and wearing flip flops. I like to stay fit and keep active.&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN>Basketball is my&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN>favorite</SPAN><SPAN>&nbsp;sport. It was after watching Space&nbsp;Jam that made me realize my passion for the game. I mean come on, a star studded cast including Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes, with R. Kelly's '<A href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0CLnk4QEADAnmREargzVbB" target="_self">I believe I can fly</A>' as the theme tune? How can you not fall in love? I also like to play the ukelele and acoustic guitar whenever I get the chance to.&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN>After 3 years of university and a cheeky gap year, I've taken my talents to Spotify. I am very excited to be a part of this family and could not be happier!</SPAN></P> <P dir="ltr"><SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P dir="ltr"><SPAN><IMG class="CToWUd a6T" src="https://ip2.i.lithium.com/ee36354ea2a137446e425bb395cf1dad44c91951/68747470733a2f2f6d61696c2e676f6f676c652e636f6d2f6d61696c2f752f302f3f75693d3226696b3d3666303738613164633426766965773d66696d672674683d313461363233616137353531653937392661747469643d302e3126646973703d656d62267265616c61747469643d69695f31346136323232653633373938633830266174746269643d414e476a644a3851584b6f50712d4f4954476a35426b7864515451305030493572544233796445486b6f4636487131344e6439446b78474557785942386766336f4d5a30416f4737536d4d44536f38386a374d6931517836676336334f344f617a2d634f434b35737357625645343932666e6d4f636463327851425557794d26737a3d773539302d68353930266174733d3134313839383734383234313026726d3d31346136323361613735353165393739267a7726617473683d31" border="0" alt="Inline image 1" width="215" height="215" /></SPAN></P> <DIV class="a6S" dir="ltr">&nbsp;</DIV> <P><STRONG>So, what kind of music are you into?</STRONG></P> <P dir="ltr">&nbsp;</P> <P>I like listening to all sorts of music. However, I think it's fair to say that "I'm all about that bass", so mostly R n' B, Hip hop and Dancehall. I'm a big fan of old school legends such as <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ZwdS5xdxEREPySFridCfh" target="_self">Tupac Shakur</A>&nbsp;but also enjoy listening to new artists such as <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/6l3HvQ5sa6mXTsMTB19rO5" target="_self">J.Cole</A>, <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2YZyLoL8N0Wb9xBt1NhZWg" target="_self">Kendrick Lamar</A>&nbsp;and others. I do have some guilty pleasures but I'd prefer not to tell you guys. Just follow me on Spotify and you'll find out.&nbsp;</P> <P dir="ltr"><SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial;"><SPAN><STRONG>What's your all-time favourite Christmas song?&nbsp;</STRONG></SPAN></SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>My all-time favorite Christmas song would be '<A href="https://open.spotify.com/track/65n3jFUcVG0j56J4ziNkK4" target="_self">It's Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas</A>' by Perry Como.
