Track Consumption

My timeline:

Born: 16th November 1998

Was the oldest child in the family so most of my music influence came from my mom and dad.

My first ever cassette that I listened to was my mom's. I had to listen to the 1990's pop hits in one cassette tape during car rides at the age of 3.

After that the most memorable song was Frank Sinatra's "Blue Moon" which my dad would always hum me to sleep with when I was young. Listened to that song again on CD during my childhood, around 4 to 5 years old.

2003- Listened to Thai Artists: Bird Thongchai McIntyre

2007- Had first karaoke machine, sang to thai songs during that period.

 

2009- Started listening to Linkin Park through Naruto AMV's. The first Linkin Park Song I listened to was 'In The End" and during that period I bought the "Linkin Park Live at Milton Keynes" CD to listen to and watch live concerts that was recorded.

2010- Got my first iPod at the age of 12. Listened to songs like Linkin Park and Green Day. Dad introduced me to "Limewire" to download music for free. 

2011- Started listening to rap: Friend introduced me to Eminem. First song I  listened to was "Not Afraid" then "When I'm Gone" via youtube. 

2012- Youtube became a major part of my life. 

2013- Got my first iPhone and started caching music via the app "AudioTube" which can cache music and save music so you can listen to the same song over and over without loading the video again.

2014- Dad introduced to "Shazam" which can identify new songs by listening to tunes from other sources. This app became very useful for me when it came to finding new songs through the radio. 

2015-16- Was introduced to SoundCloud, Spotify and Joox to keep my music. I use a lot of Soundcloud to keep music that are not top charts within Thailand. However, I am not able to use Spotify due to regional reasons.
