As a professional musician who has worked in this industry in various capacities (music journalist, educator, performer) I’m a music fanatic and there isn’t much that I don’t listen to. I make playlists of songs to play along to as well as just to listen to. To work on my hip hop / funk / soul grooves, the playlist below is full of some of my favorites to listen to as well as play along with. Check these out and enjoy:)
