People listen to Wave’s music simply because it is relatable; they are able to make connections and feel what he is saying. Each of his fans have their own opinion and diverse connection with his music.
“ His music might seem sad to others, but honestly I feel like it’s just how some people feel at times,” Sophomore Janel Brent said. “ His music has a different feel though.”
Wave is what some people need just to feel good. This might sound inadequate to non-Wave fans, yet they can tell how he encourages others to not only hear but listen to his music.
“You feel like you can escape, and there is such a peaceful feeling that he gives through his music,” Brent said.
