When I host, I always start with music. The music is on hours before anyone even arrives. This is the playlist I always put on — the one that keeps conversations flowing, feet tapping, and phones coming out to Shazam.
Seventeen hours worth of music, built slowly over four years.
Good beats, good energy, zero skips.
It’s how I set the tone — for dinners, gatherings, and events that feel homey.
