Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
Oliver, Young Knives: ilikemusic because... It evokes a mood and a feeling of when you last heard the track.
Ali Campbell, UB40: ilikemusic because... It’s supposed to bring people together.
