Siobahn Hotaling is a songwriter and poet who started her music journey at the young age of 16. By 17, Siobahn Hotaling had begun writing original folk-rock songs on guitar. A few years later, she became involved in electronica, using computer-based tools to create songs under the pseudonym Equipoise. Though these genres of music are quite different, Siobahn used the emotive aspects of sound in both, tapping into the psychological impacts that music can have on the listener.
Listening to music has numerous advantages besides the potential for enjoyment and fulfillment. Music has the power to uplift the spirit, revitalize the body, and even improve pain management. Music can affect ideas, feelings, and behaviors. A riveting live performance can bring the crowd to tears. Thus, they can truly appreciate the sound's power and how it affects moods and inspires action. For instance, drumming is a great musical tool for encouraging carefree enjoyment and unrestricted engagement. Drumming boosts cellular activity that aids the body's defenses against neurological and endocrinological illness. Drumming also has a positive social meaning and unites people as a group while enhancing body functioning. Today, music therapy is an intervention used to support psychological well-being and emotional health. Some studies contend that musical preferences can reveal various personality traits.
