Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

When it comes to the hottest social media and video content right now, it’s got to be TikTok.

Many songs have risen to fame through TikTok.

Some artists made explosive debuts thanks to TikTok, and certain genres gained attention because of it.

You’ll find timeless hits you’ve probably heard at least once, so sit back, relax, and enjoy to the end!
