Music and Me

     Hi there! I am Kendall Hughes. I am a Jr. music therapy major here at Converse. I have always been a big music lover, but I did not actually start "making" music in front of people until 2022. I started to teach myself guitar and piano around that time and got involved in leading worship at church kind of by accident and haven't really stopped since then. At that time I was a physical therapy student and did not know anything about music therapy until I went on a trip to Nashville and met some people there who were doing music therapy and came home from that trip and applied to Converse immediately. I started my first semester at Converse spring of 2024 and have been here doing the thing ever since. 

    When I am not at school I am either at my daycare job or leading worship somewhere. I started working at a daycare right when I turned 18 and haven't left. Working with kids is always a new adventure every day. Within the last couple of years I have found that one of my true passions is leading contemporary worship. So I say yes to any opportunity I can!

Here is me (in the middle) and a couple of my siblings my siblings. 

    1. Two Examples of something I am liking right now: 

This song is my current go to when I just need to jam for a little pick me up. The bridge of this song is so powerful and meaningful. Currently on repeat for me! 

This is a song that will Always be a "right now" song for me. It is just a vibe and is too good. In my opinion Lauryn Hill's music is some that just never get old. No matter how much I listen to it I never get sick of it. 

    2. My walk up song:

This song is my perfect walk up song. Specifically the last minuteish. For no reason other than it is just the perfect vibe. But also the end of this song also plays before every Lauren Daigle concert. Its the song that when you hear it you know the show is about to start so it just gets my hyped every time. 

  

    3. An example of a song that I don't particularly care for:

I have never loved country music, but this one specifically. For some reason, and I can't really explain why, it just bothers me so much. I don't love how mumblely he sounds. At first it was just a normal dislike until my friends found out and since then they take any opportunity they can to play it when I am around and that has only increased the dislike.
