Sinking in sound: Ibarra explains how much she loves music.
Reported by: Georgina Bolanos
In a place with no worries, she sinks into noise. Once her headphones enter her ears she is now in a world of peace. Her heart beats with the rhythm she hears, she’s one with the sound of music. There are many different types of genres to listen to, many types of voices to hear, with all these differences the one thing they share is music.
Sophomore Emma Ibarra got to discover different types of music mainly through family and with friends.
“My family listens to much different music than me,” Ibarra said. “They listen to more cultural music or hip-hop. I listen to more calmer and pop music. They showed me everything, they showed me many types of artists. From when I was small to now I would just connect my headphones to my IPad and just start cleaning. I would say in a way that music raised me.”
Growing up she listened to many diverse genres, there are just too many great genres to choose as a favorite.
“I like anything calm, or sometimes I like pop as well,” Ibarra said. “I like chill kind of music, I’d like to say I listen to a bit of everything. Some artists I like are Beyonce, Adelle, Melanie Martinez, Ariana Grande, Old Drake, and The Weekend. I like a lot of different types of music as you can tell, I love every genre equally. I don’t think I have a favorite genre.”
When it comes to concerts she has not experienced one yet but she would love and hope to go see one of her favorite artists.
“My go-to artist is Ariana Grande,” Ibarra said. “Her music is very upbeat and just a sound I overall enjoy, but if I were to go to a concert I would badly want to see wave to earth and Bruno Mars, I need to see them before they retire. I did say before that I do not have a favorite genre but I do have a favorite artist and that’s wave to earth.”
Despite the types of music she likes and has heard, they have all affected her in a way that makes her have a strong type of love for music.
“Music can mean a lot to me depending on whatever I am going through,” Ibarra said. “It changes my mood and it just makes me forget about my problems. Before I was going through a hard time, I didn’t really know what to do, I felt that with music I grew. Throughout my hard and good times I have realized how the only thing that has helped me heal and stand on this ground was music, even up till now music is the one thing that continues to be there for me. Music is love to me.”
