Celebrate Father's Day with the Dada-Er, Data-Proven Perfect Playlist

Some songs have special ways of connecting you with a loved one, and there's nothing like the musical bond you share with your dad. Whether it's music from the CD that was always playing in your parents' car or the song from a father-daughter dance, certain tracks will always make you think of him.

Despite that old assumption that kids and parents can't stand each other's music, the music you grow up with can have a huge influence on your musical tastes later in life. Singer, actress, and social influencer Inanna Sarkis finds that the music she listened to when she was younger had a lot to do with her father Mirza's favorite artist, Shaggy.

Our music taste is actually pretty similar, says Sarkis. Growing up, the music I listened to was largely inspired by my dad, Jamaican and Latin flavor, with a lot of uplifting, fast rhythms. Hearing stories from my Dad in Syria and how powerful music has been in his life inspired me to use my voice to bring change and put out my first song, No Beauty in War. It has the same uplifting vibe with a great positive message! Even though I live in Los Angeles now and have adapted to more of an indie vibe, I still love listening to the reggae I grew up with.
