Whether you’re trying to become the next Jay-Z, the next Katy Perry or you just pop the radio and singalong, music is undeniably a vital aspect to society – as are payments.

So we here at Payment Expert decided to reach out to industry figures to see what music means to them and hopefully help everyone “learn to treat life to the best, put stress to rest.”

DJ… SPIN THAT

To kick off the weekly feature we start with Jens Bader, CCO at digital wallet MuchBetter, who reminisced about an old love with Barbara Streisand and took us on a trip down Fascination Street.

PE: You’re entering a packed arena, what song blasts out?

Bader: This song is full of punk and power, a great combination to have when walking into an arena. The message behind the song as well resonated with me to this day.

PE: What one song gets you in the mood for a boogie?

Bader: This is a cool song. It’s fun, easily gets the party started and its unconventional – never take yourself too serious!

PE: What song would you consider a guilty pleasure?

Bader: As you would expect, a moment involving a past love but I won’t be going any further into that!

PE: What typifies your lazy Sunday?

Bader: There is a dark mystery that hangs over this song yet it makes for an easy listening in my opinion. A timeless masterpiece.

PE: What song reminds you of your childhood?

Bader: Springsteen reminds me of a time when the media loved cool, powerful, rebellious figures.

PE: And finally, what’s your go to karaoke song? Don’t worry… we won’t be asking for a recording!

Bader: I’ve tried to be a little different with this one, it’s a song I love as it makes me feel punk – and certainly no one else would choose this one!
