In **How I Listen**, we ask industry leaders to share how they discover and consume music. This [9th Anniversary](https://www.hypebot.com/celebrating-hypebots-9th-anniversary/) edition features Natalie Cheng, [Music Think Tank](http://www.musicthinktank.com/?ref=hypebot.com) Community Manager, MBA candidate at [Belmont University](http://www.belmont.edu/?ref=hypebot.com) and Digital Marketing Intern at [Rockhouse Partners](http://rockhousepartners.com/?ref=hypebot.com). Natalie, who has been a valuable team member here for several years is graduating and on the lookout for the right opportunity.

**1) What device(s) do you use to listen to music?**

Depending on where I am, the devices differ. When I'm driving short distances, I usually listen to the radio or to cd's that I have in the car since it can be a hassle scrolling through my iPod to find songs. In Nashville, I like listening to the independent radio station, Lightning 100, when I get sick of the other stations that play the same songs all the time. The station also plays local music which is really cool and I like Lightning 100 Unplugged which features alternate or acoustic versions of songs on Sunday mornings. On longer drives, I make a playlist and listen to my iPod.

When I'm at home or school, I like listening to music on Spotify or iTunes.

**2) What streaming music service(s) do you use most often?**

Spotify

**3) Besides recommendations from friends, how do you discover new music?**

I discover new music from listening to the radio, watching TV (I use Shazam when I hear a song that sounds good to me), or reading blogs or tweets to see what other people or musicians are recommending.

**4) What new music are you listening to most this week?**

Collapsible Lung – Relient K

**5) Shameless Plug: What are you promoting/launching/planning that you want to share.**

I'm excited to say that I will be graduating soon. I'm currently looking for jobs in the music industry and social media/digital marketing positions.
