Tell us a bit about your B&O portable speaker. It is a truly state-of-the-art gadget and a very trusted brand. The sound is crisp and fills the room and it is honestly one of the best gadgets I’ve ever owned. The design is sexy and I literally take it everywhere I go. How long have you had this device? I bought it for myself as a late Christmas gift and I’ve had it for about three months. What makes it so important for your life/work? I love listening to music in the car and basically everywhere. I’m also the person who loves to hijack people’s aux cords in their cars or connect to other people’s speakers and just spin a playlist! So I definitely needed my own and it’s made my life even more colourful and fun. Who are your favourite artists to listen to on your speaker? Amanda Black, Lalah Hathaway, Sia, Stogie T and AKA. I like to listen to music across genres. What edge does this brand of speaker have over others you might have tried in the past? It’s just a better brand than most out in the market. It’s trusted, specialising in sound design and quality. You’re a very busy lady and always travelling. How does this gadget help you with your travels/work? It fits into my handbag and I can take it anywhere in the world and blast my music! Which, when you’re by yourself sometimes in a foreign country, is seriously cool and comforting.
