I build a playlist, and that’s exactly where it starts from,
Momoa explained.
I read a script, and I build my character playlist. But music is for me. I have to write to music, I have to act to it, and it helps me stay in a creative state. If I’m doing a very emotional scene, it helps me stay in it.
Music is everything to me, man,
he added, underscoring how essential melodies are to both his personal and professional life.
