How Is The Music That You Enjoy Part Of Your Identity?

How Is The Music That You Enjoy Part Of Your Identity?  
Example: younger descendants of Punjabis who live in the UK, Canada, and the US (and elsewhere) *may* identify with modern bhangra, a style of music that combines traditional bhangra from the Punjab and modern urban styles from the West such as R&B and club music. Knowing this, how is the music that you enjoy part of YOUR identity? 
Tell a story related to your life with music and how close is music to you 
(You could think of this as individual identity, or the identity of a group, or a larger social identity, etc. Most importantly, I want you to write about yourself.)
You must write at least 200 words. 
***Say something interesting, something unique--a story that only you can tell. I am looking for answers that can only come from you as an individual--particular stories that are interesting because they are personal.
