Gaja Prestor is definitely one of us, a person who prefers experimenting to following the rules. Completely free in allowing herself to believe in miracles, her determination and focus have brought her further than anyone expected. Whether it's perfecting her work as a make-up artist or music performer, she will go above and beyond to express her true self and stand out from the rest.
Music plays a big part in her journey, and lately she has been listening to artists with the same rebellious outlook on life. Want to hear what it's like to make up the rules as you go?
Listen to Gaja's top 10 mood-setters!
1. The Mountain – Faouzia
I found this song totally by accident, and it's stuck with me ever since. It really boosts my motivation and makes me feel like anything is possible.
2. Rita Ora – Let You Love Me
It's just one of those songs you end up listening to, even though you heard it 1,000 times already. I also see myself in the lyrics, so I guess that helped as well. :)
3. Cigarettes After Sex – Cry
Motivational songs are great, but every playlist needs a breath of fresh air. This is definitely a song I play when I feel like relaxing after a long day and it always delivers. Oh, and the lyrics are wonderful!
4. Paul Kalkbrenner – No Goodbye
The first time I heard this song was live at a musical festival and just as the sun was rising, so you can imagine it has a special place in my heart.
5. Wicked Game – Chris Isaak
Despite all the "breakup" comments on YouTube, I find this song to be pretty mystical and erotic, so naturally I fell in love with it. It's a must have for me!
6. Lady Gaga – Always Remember Us This Way
When I first saw A Star is Born at the cinema and heard this song, I cried like a baby. I'm pretty sure this is one of those songs that stay with you forever, even if everyone says it's such a cliché.
7. Sam Smith – How Do You Sleep?
I've been a fan of Sam Smith since 2012 because he always seemed like such a genuine guy, and I was absolutely ecstatic when he released this song. It is just so unfiltered and he really shows his true self, I love it!
8. Billie Eilish – Bad Guy
The weirder it gets, the more I like it. And that's what I love about "Bad Guy" and Billie Eilish! It's also a great motivational song for when I hit the gym.
9. Rihanna – Love on the Brain
It's not your typical turn it up song, but it is Rihanna and really does make an impact. It's also one of the regular songs I cover at my performances, so it had to be here.
10. Selena Gomez – Lose You to Love Me
I've never been a real fan of Selena, but this song hits home and I wouldn't do it justice if I left it out of my top 10. Listen to it carefully, it's powerful!
