Meet Sola, CultureHype’s new Content & Marketing Intern. Sola is a third-year at the University of Texas at Austin studying Public Relations & Journalism & minoring in Sports Media.

Sola is an avid sports fanatic & lifestyle enthusiast. While she isn’t taking in the sights & sounds of the live music capital of the world, you can find her trying new restaurants, indulging in trivia, playing Guitar Hero & watching movies. Although she doesn’t consider herself a good singer, Sola loves karaoke and credits much of her music tastes to growing with up her parents and their vivid tastes.

Sola believes there is never an inappropriate time to enjoy the melodies & blasts music in all settings of her life.

Check out her playlist below!

“These are songs that are never skipped. This playlist, like me, is a mixed bag. My ikigai is to fully embrace & appreciate the world around me which means trying everything at least once. I like to think that my music taste covers a wide range of genres & reflects my affinity for exploring new experiences. ”

“I gravitate towards listening to things that I can either sing along to or dance to. I love upbeat songs that put me in a happy mood.”

— Cherokee

Meet Cherokee, CultureHype’s new PR Assistant! The fashion-savvy Dallasite studied Marketing & Fashion Merchandising at Texas Woman’s University (TWU) in Denton! How did she find CultureHype? Our #girlboss Amber met Cherokee at our girl’s only pool party series at W Dallas - Victory through our partner, Dallas Girl Gang. Can we say, girl power?!

Cherokee’s taste in music is very dependent on her mood. One day she could be listening to Alternative Rock & Indie music & then switch to Hip-Hop and R&B in an instant. Some of her go-to favorite artists include Ariana Grande, Paramore, Frank Ocean &, most importantly these days, Meg thee Stallion.

Listen to Cherokee’s #MUSICMONDAY playlist below!

“This playlist is a few recent faves & some old classics. My taste is pretty all over the map, so hopefully this offers a taste of that!”

Music has always been an integral part of my life & I couldn’t fathom living one day without it. In this playlist you can find really happy songs that make you want to dance & sad songs that make you reflect about love, life, & that might make you cry. You can clearly see my love for indie rock & reggaeton in my choice of songs. I hope you enjoy the soundtrack to my life!”
