So, grab your guitar (or your imaginary microphone) and see if you can spot yourself—or your fellow musicians—in this list!

Example Tracks: “At Last” by Etta James, “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley
Who You Are:
You’re a heart-melter, a serenader, a die-hard romantic who probably tears up at wedding vows (even if you’ve heard a hundred of them). You believe in love, soulmates, and the power of a perfectly timed key change.
Your Vibe:
Classy, sentimental, and a little old-fashioned—in the best way possible. You understand that some songs never go out of style, just like your knack for tugging at heartstrings.

Tears. Lots of tears. You’re the reason Aunt Susan needs a tissue mid-ceremony.

Fun, flirty, and just a little bit cheeky. You’re here to make people feel alive, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Your Vibe:
Nostalgic, soulful, and effortlessly cool. You don’t just play music—you transport people back in time.

You live for that magical moment when the audience becomes your backing vocalists.
