Estelle: ilikemusic because... It enables me to get my feelings out and it’s borderline therapy for me. Music makes me feel.
Sylvia Powell: ilikemusic because... It can make me happy yet it can make me feel sad. It helps me remember, but it can also make me forget. Most of all I like music because it makes me feel alive.
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.
Riot! Traffic: ilikemusic because... music is LiFe...and more than...
Patrick: ilikemusic because... Music came from the universe...always finding a way into societies from the beginning of time. I imagine it has always been out there waiting for us to show up. I'm so glad we made it!
Demi: ilikemusic because... Girl's love music.
william young: ilikemusic because... The Boat That Rocked started the musical revolution for the musical nation.
Alfonso, The Hoosiers: ilikemusic because... Because, because, because, because, because of the wonderful things he does… I’m off to see the wizard…[singing] the wonderful wizard of oz…
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.This November sees 3 x UK dates from the Wu-tang Clan's founder member GZA The Genius who's in town celebrating the launch of his recent album Pro Tools in the US and imminent UK release. With dates in Glasgow, London and Bristol, fans can expect brand spanking new material. He will also be performing the best of his previous material including tracks off his acclaimed '95 release Liquid Swords (in addition to classic Wu Tang tracks).
The GZA needs no introduction. It's as simple as that. Go back to the original Wu-Tang album, Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, and the art speaks for itself. He is the force behind the greatest hip hop group the world has ever seen, both musically and culturally.
Regarded by many as the intellectual and philosophical heart of the Clan, The GZA formed the group with The RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard after becoming massively disillusioned with the industry and with a resolve to do things their own way. He is a masterful (intelligent) ghetto storyteller without being ignorant. He spits thought provoking, street-bred raw lyrics, he's the Wu-Tang Clan's fountain of wisdom. (And that's no small thing, when you consider the latest venture from the Wu camp, Rza's Wuchess.com, a Wu-tang Clan-themed-chess site where you can practice your strategy skills, play other fans and maybe even go up against a Clan member!) He has smashed it with work under the Wu-Tang Clan and with his own solo projects such as his albums Liquid Swords, Beneath The Surface, Grandmasters (with DJ Muggs) and Legend Of The Liquid Sword.
