Julian Francis says music has always been a significant part of his life for as long as he can remember. His dad wasn’t a professional musician, but he made music during his free time. Julian also credits his mother as an inspiration for his love of music. He recalls his mom always playing music around the house, especially on Sundays when it was time to clean.

“Music is everything to me. I usually use it whenever I  need to relax or just calm my anxiety,” he said.

Francis is a big Drake and Nicki Minaj fan, and he would obviously recommend Nicki Minaj’s newest album, Pink Friday 2. Let Me Calm Down is his current favorite song from the album, and it’s been on repeat.

“I love how diverse music is. Depending on my mood, sometimes I can jam out listening to rap or wind down and listen to some R&B,” Francis said.
