FRO 14 LC15

There are a lot of things that make up who I am, but these images describe a few. I’m into fashion, art, and music. The first picture is a painting by one of my favorite artists, Roy Lichtenstein, he was a pop artist during the 1960’s.  The second is a picture of one of Tom Fords looks for his Fall 2014 Collection. Iv’e always been interested in fashion and he’s one of my favorite designers. The third picture has a lot of meaning to me because I was on my high schools cheerleading team which helped shape who I am today, it taught me a lot about myself and working with others. Music has also always been a big part of me so I’m always excited when festival season comes around, electronic dance music (edm) is my favorite genre. I also like to think of myself as a positive person with set goals in mind. I hope to major in Marketing and minor in economics, who knows along the lines that may change.

^ That there is the link to my latest mixtape. I dont really rap anymore but I very much appreciate the power of music and I still love the rap culture. It took me only a few months to make it cause I tried to do it as quickly as possible. Its not my first mixtape, just the latest. Its actually one of seven or even eight. I have been rapping for a while and I have been writing for even longer. I still write, its one of my favorite things to do.

The tracklist goes as follows: Chit Chat With Larry (Skit), Ready or Not, C’est La Vie, I’m Not The One, The Way You Look Tonight, My Grind, Comin’ Down, Miss Baker, Love, No Way In, Home, Struggling, Apocalyptic Freestyle, (Bonus) Change of Heart Remix.

This is a sequel to my mixtape, ‘J.A.W.S’, which stands for ‘Just A Writer’s Stress’. I worked hard on it and I feel like these songs say a lot about me.

My mother and father are both 100% Croatian. My father was actually born there. I love to visit Croatia during the summers, its a beautiful vacation spot. I have a bunch of family members that live there so its always nice catching up with them.

My whole life I have been playing basketball and baseball competitively. I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if it wasn’t for playing sports my whole life. Playing sports shaped me into the person I am today.

I would like to think of myself as hardworking, attentive, patient, and determined. These four qualities will hopefully lead me toward my goal of passing the CPA exam and becoming an accountant.

Slipknot-Duality

I have always heard about Slipknot, but I actually never heard any of their songs. I thought they looked creepy with their masks. A few weeks ago I randomly started watching their videos on youtube. I heard this song and instantly liked it. The song is about facing struggles and pain and that you just have to go through it.

La gota fria-Carlos Vives

Carlos vives is a Colombian singer and composer. La gota fria is a classic colombian party song. The actual song is from 1938, but this is the most famous cover. The genre of the song is vallenato. This song basically represent me as a Colombian.

Get Lucky-Daft Punk

Get lucky was my favorite summer song of 2013. It has is a very catchy song and I never get tired of hearing it. Its just a good pop/electronic song.  Its a song about having fun and a good time and who doesn’t like that?

Arcade Fire-The Suburbs

I heard this song when it cam out in 9th grade. I went all throughout high school with this song. For me this song represents growing up and everyone changing. Everything gets more complicated as you become older. It was like I was living this song growing up during high school.

Goldfinger-Superman

This 90’s song was played in an old Tony Hawk Pro Skater videogame.  It brings me back to being a little kid fooling around. The meanig of the song is how you grow up so fast and how you have to change and act your age, which is something we all go through.

Public Enemy-Harder than you think

I first heard this song in the opening of the movie End of watch. For me this song represents how you empower yourself by education, your own morality and challenging the right authority. It also has a nice beat.

Billy Joel-It’s still rock and roll to me

Thi song is about being yourself. About being an individual, being your own person.  Billy talks about the latest trends, being in style and having the latest things, but at the end, it’s about what you like.

Fitz & the Trantrums-Moneygrabber

The song is catchy. It has an old-school feel to it. The song  is about a golddigger. It is such an upbeat song that it is also my alarm in the morning.

Rick Ross-Stay Schemin

This hip-hop song reminds me of two of my friends in 10th grade. We were walking out of chemistry tutoring afterschool and one of us played the song on our phone. My friend Alla started with rick ross’ verse, my friend Jahrew went with drake’s verse and I finished it with french’s verse. It was so random and unexpected, it is a memory with my friends I still remember.

Bastille-Pompeii

The lead singer actually described the song  being conversation between two of the people of the city of Pompeii as it is being destroyed by the volcano. It is a nice and catchy song.

10Rope – Foo Fighters

Well I love any song with a good beat. (Numbers 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9). Number 2 speaks to the thicker women of the world and I really like it because I believe that women really need to stop trying to make themselves look like the models they see in Victoria’s Secret. And as I’ve gotten older I’ve learned that the guy’s perspective of a woman’s physicality has changed. Now guys want more junk in the trunk haha! Number 3 is just the typical sappy song everyone has in their playlist. Number 8 and 10 are my contrasting songs and the songs that people would never guess I would listen to.
