O'Bailey: ilikemusic because... I can live vicariously through a song, whether it's a screaming angry rock anthem or a silly kids song ("I'm a little yellow fish" anyone?) haha!
Mutya Buena: ilikemusic because... It’s something I’ve grown up listening to, I enjoy singing I don’t think I know what I’d do without music to tell you the truth. It helps me out in so many ways.
gpm100: ilikemusic because... I just do!!!!!
Oliver, Young Knives: ilikemusic because... It evokes a mood and a feeling of when you last heard the track.
Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
Uyi: ilikemusic because... its relaxing, soothing and its food for the body mind and soul!
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!!
william young: ilikemusic because... The Boat That Rocked started the musical revolution for the musical nation.

She has sung for presidents, queens and prime ministers, she has become a committed ambassador for UNICEF, and has sold over 3 million records worldwide.
And although New Zealander Hayley has settled in England, the inspiration for her third album comes from nearer home. Her family has always been musical, and her grandmother was a singer in her earlier years. Hayley learnt many of the songs on this record by having them passed down to her through the generations. She felt it was time to recognise that debt by presenting her own gorgeous versions of them on here new album, Treasure, release in February 2007.
I Like Music caught up with the hugely talented Hayley Westenara to talk about her new album, singing for presidents and Queens, and getting girls to school.
"I Like Music because… it feeds the soul, it balances you and there's always a song for every mood that you're in." HAYLEY WESTENRA
ILM: Your new album, Treasure is out now, released this week, just incredibly lovely. Many of the songs have been passed down to you through the generations. Was it a bit like going through an old photo album, sifting through these old songs from your family album?
