Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
susan rowe: ilikemusic because... it reaches the soul, sooths the mind, speaks volumes, lightens the heart. music is food for my soul.
Del: ilikemusic because... music is life
RejinaReclusive: ilikemusic because... it helps me remember. It helps me forget. It helps me be strong and it makes me cry. Music screams the words I can't say, the feelings I can't express. It makes my heart feel alive.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
James, Maroon 5: ilikemusic because... It is a gateway into the present moment.
Iesha Gadd: ilikemusic because... it's sexily cool. And u can rave to decent tuneage. 
Newton Faulkner: ilikemusic because... I’m absolutely rubbish at everything else.MelissaBeckyLeah: ilikemusic because... itz frikin amazing mann!
ILM: You've worked on a lot of film and TV themes too. What's your advice to musicians in getting into writing for film and TV?
HAYLEY: I haven't done any writing, I've just been lending my vocals to soundtracks. There's a drama series called Jekyll for the BBC. And I've recorded the vocals for the soundtrack as well as the theme song. There's a British film coming out called Flood, which I've sung the theme song for. What else? The Merchant of Venice starring Al Pacino, I sang the end titles song for that. It's really exciting because you get to see the visuals and you get to see the previews too. I'm doing some more recording for Jekyll tomorrow.
Once you get involved in one song, people start inviting you to get involved in other films. So if anyone wants to get into it, I guess, start small and work your way up really. Do a score for a small film and hopefully people will start taking notice and use you for a bigger film.
ILM: What songs do you enjoy playing live the most?
HAYLEY: Well in my shows, I include classical, folk and a bit of easy listening pop, so I take the audience on a real journey, and each style adds a lot to the concert, so it's really hard to choose. At the moment though, I'm a big fan of folk. I think the album is definitely folk influenced. But, I enjoy singing classical and pop as well. I like fusing styles together.
