asked Perfume Genius for a list of 20 things he loves and 20 things he hates.

Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) began his music career in 2008 and released his debut album, Learning, in 2010. The album immediately captured critics’ attention for Hadreas’ ability to convey emotional vulnerability not only lyrically, but with his nuanced vocals. To date, he has released seven albums including the GRAMMY nominated No Shape and his most recent album, Glory.
