Preferred format  I prefer vinyl, but I love to be able to stream anything that pops into my head.

5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:

1

The Wizard of Oz (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), Various 

It was one of the first musicals I ever did while in elementary school. I’ve always had a love for Judy Garland, and still to do this day. I tear up whenever I hear “Over the Rainbow.” 

2

William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet: Music from the Motion Picture, Various

This movie was my everything and I was obsessed with the soundtrack! Such amazing songs like “Kissing You” by Des’ree , “#1 Crush” by Garbage, “Talk Show Host” by Radiohead, and “Lovefool” by The Cardigans. A ‘90s classic! 

3

Oracular Spectacular, MGMT 

It was so refreshing when MGMT came out. Their sound, their style, the visuals. It was just what was needed. It’s one of my faves.

4

Lady Sings the Blues, Billie Holiday

This vinyl was just gifted to me recently and it means so much. Billie Holiday’s story, her voice, her courage — so unbelievable. “Strange Fruit” is one of the most haunting, honest, and deeply heartbreaking songs I’ve ever heard. 

5

The Velvet Underground & Nico, The Velvet Underground 

Every time I listen to this album it blows my mind. It’s just so good from top to bottom. The writing, the way the vocals and instruments were recorded are super inspiring. To me, the imperfections are perfection. This album is not just music. It’s culture, it’s art, it’s fashion.
