GO TO A CONCERT - IT MAY INCREASE YOUR LIFESPAN

A recent study shows that going to concerts frequently (once every two weeks) can increase you lifespan and make you happier. Well I can vouch for the fact that going to concerts makes me very happy but every two weeks could bust my bank. Still according to O2 and Patrick Fagan, who specializes in behavioral science, going to a gig can increase your feeling of well-being by 21% and suggested a lifespan increase of nine years. Need a little more bliss in your life, maybe it’s time to buy those tickets…or better yet save the cash…I’m spreading musical happiness this weekend on In The Mix with HK™. I personally think tuning in may give you a five year bump (especially if dancing occurs while listening) and I can absolutely promise a sic party soundtrack.

Get ready for exclusive HK remixes on Bebe Rexha, Maroon 5, Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Meghan Trainor, Shawn Mendes, Cardi B, Khalid & Normani.

J BALVIN'S CHASING HIS DREAM

J Balvin wants to have a huge pop single sung completely in Spanish. This hasn’t happened since 1986 when Los Lobos had a #1 hit with “La Bamba”. Balvin may be on his way with “I Like It” (sung partially in Spanish) by Cardi B with Balvin and Bad Bunny. Balvin says “I wanna make history, I wanna tell my kids, one day when I have them…’Yo, I did this”. Another thing he can tell his kids about is being the subject of YouTube’s documentary series ‘Artist Spotlight Story: Redefining Mainstream”, out this week. Balvin has garnered 5 Billion (yeah that’s with a B) views on YouTube in 2018 alone. Congrats go out to J for his success.

Determination and talent have brought him a long way from his roofing, house painting days or freestyling in the streets and barbershops of Medellin, Columbia. While J Balvin continues to work on his dream I’m working on an exclusive HK remix of I Like It that I know your gonna like. Plus custom HK remixes on Kygo featuring Miguel, Marshmello & Anne-Marie, Taylor Swift, Bazzi, Backstreet Boys, Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa. Plus new joints from Kelly Clarksonand Lenny Kravitz and so much more!

THE INTERSECTION OF MUSIC AND SPORT

Music and Sports go hand and hand like music and a dance floor. Listening to music can stimulate parts of the brain that are critical to athletic performance. Costas Karageorghis who has spent 25 years studying music and its effects on the brain says “When the brain is listening to music, It lights up like a Christmas tree. It’s an ideal stimuli because it reaches (parts of the brain) that can’t easily be reached.” He found music can tap into the brains secretion of dopamine and natural opioids – two naturally occurring chemicals that help block our perception of fatigue and pain. Karageorghis says “Based on my research, music can be like a performance-enhancing drug. It’s just that intoxicating”.

Check out how music is enhancing the performances of athletes at this year’s X-Games in exclusive HK interviews…
