BEFORE I DIE: youbloom | HEADROOM #3 with Featured Artists from the Dublin 2016 Music Festival
"Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music." One of the most influential composers of his time and to this day, Sergei Rachmaninoff's name might not exactly conjure images of blazing guitars and hot tubs full of topless, adoring groupies. Yet the Russian musician kept his nose to the musical grindstone despite repeated tragedy in his early life, eventually rising to fame as one of the Soviet Union's biggest names. The topless groupies would come later - Sergei was reportedly a regular at Los Angeles' notoriously debaucherous Garden of Allah hotel in the 40s, one of the original secret sin palaces for the world's biggest stars and their friends. Rachmaninoff is also the man credited with the quote above, something anyone with a passion for music can attest is pretty bang on the money. My point? Life is short, as our friend Rachmaninoff has famously observed. And, like the Russian firehouse, if you've got things you want to do, there's no time like right effin' now to make tracks towards seeing them through. So we wanted to know what artists from the youbloom Dublin 2016 Music Festival (June 1-3) list as their Top 3 BEFORE I DIE must-dos. Here's what they had to say:![BEFORE I DIE](http://www.youbloom.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/KelllieMarieReynoldsSide.jpg)
