About Me!
Muzik Junqie’s Mission
Community…
Bringing fans and fangirls/ fanboys together. It doesn’t matter who or what you are a fan of, if you are passionate about the things and people that bring you joy, I want you to feel comfortable talking about it. Building a community is important and necessary in the world we live in. What brings people together more than sharing things we love?
What Makes Muzik Junqie Unique/ Special
I’m not here to use technical words or descriptions, I am here to bring you feelings and emotions. How do I/ we feel about the music, movies, tv shows, books, etc… Why do we love the people/ things that we love? I pride myself on using my voice and experiences. I’m not trying to be anyone else. I am not trying to show things people don’t want or need. I am truly trying to build a community of fans who can share their thoughts and experiences.
Name: Michelle
Nickname (s): Mimi, Micky (along with the hundreds of nicknames given to me by my family, especially my grandparents LOL)
Hobbies: Listening to music, writing, drawing, reading, watching movies…
Favorite Throwback Music/Musicians:
Growing up, I listened to whatever my mom and grandparents listened to lol. So that meant a lot of Prince, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Billy Joel, Earth/Wind/ Fire, Temptations, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye to name a few… 90’s and 00s R&B played a big part in my childhood as well, so I loved Tevin Campbell, TLC, Brandy, Blackstreet, Monica, as well as Hip Hop artists 2Pac, Biggie, Nas, Missy Elliott, Eve… As a teenager, I listened to a lot of Boybands, so NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, B2K, Immature/ IMX… I also listened to a lot of Rock/ Alternative bands like Linkin Park, Fuel, P.O.D. Then I got more into Rap/ Hip Hop & Neo-Soul artists…
Favorite Current Music/Musicians:
I listen to a little bit of everything these days, but some of my current favorites are: J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Meg Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Victoria Monet, Tori Kelley, Leon Thomas, Maurice Moore, Luke Christopher, Tyler the Creator, Action Bronson, Andeson Paak, Big KRIT, Linkin Park, Sleep Theory, Magnolia Park, to name a few…
I got in K-Pop around 2019, and it has become my comfort music these days. Some of my favorites are: Monsta X, Got7, HIGHLIGHT, EXO, iKON, Kard, ATEEZ, BTS, B.A.P, Big Bang, SHINee… That also led me to listening to more K-Hip Hop and R&B groups and solo artists.
What Inspires Me the Most:
My mom and grandmother (RIP) have always been my main sources of inspiration because I watched them go through so much and they are the strongest people I have known. I could also say music in general just because it has been the steadiest thing in my life that has made me happy, given me hope, and encouraged me to do what I needed to do for myself. Looking up to celebrities has changed for me over the years, so I’ll leave it there for now.
Best Advice I’ve Ever Gotten:
To always be myself no matter what… My mom instilled that in me and it has been the best thing I have ever done. I even have the tattoo “To thine own self be true” dedicated to that…
Also, it’s never too late and you’re never too old to do what makes you happy.
I Started Blogging Because…
I have a passion for music and everything artsy & creative… I also love to write and talk to people about those passions. Why not start a blog and really get my thoughts out there to share and find people like me who feel the same way. And it has brought me back to a lot of those things that brought me joy at a young age, and I am finding a more appreciation for it all as an adult.
Why Music?
From dancing in front of the TV and singing in my car seat as a 2–3-year-old to listening to music after a rough day of school, work, or life in general, music has always been a part of my life. Having to deal with a lot from a very early age, music has been my refuge, my THERAPY. Music was just a start, and I am hoping to share all the other amazing things that have been bringing me joy as I go through this thing called life
Why Muzik Junqie?
For someone like me who has also been nervous and anxious most of my life, Music was something that always helped to calm me. Music became a “pain killer” for me. It’s my go to when nothing else seems to work. We all have that one thing that takes us away from the stress in our lives. Music has been mine…
