Megan Lagueruela of Megan-Ilene

"Music became more important to me during the pandemic because it served as another connection to the outside world (that I was lacking due to isolation). 

I remember a late 90s film was added to Netflix, and I watched it on Netflix Party with a group of friends (all in different cities/states). I then saw the movie soundtrack on Spotify. There's a certain synergy when a song is released or becomes popular and you know others are listening to it at the same time. It was a poignant reminder that we all can share experiences even when physically separated."
