Olympic athlete Usain Bolt appeared on air with Beats 1’s Julie Adenuga last night and opened up about his longstanding love of music. 

He admitted that he has such a passion for music that he almost built a recording studio in his house: "I’m really into music, I almost built a studio at my house, and then I thought about it for a minute and was like, if I build a studio, there’s going to be a lot of guys at my place so let’s not do that, I was that close. I do have my DJ setup at home, I play sometimes when I’m bored."

When asked how he selects music before he takes part in a race, Bolt explained: "I just listen to music, I genuinely just listen to music, I am the type of person that just loves music, I will sit at home, and one of my friends DJ Burns, we just sit and home and he plays music and I just listen, all types of music, he plays anything and I listen and we just vibe to it, because I love hearing music so much, I always hang with him and he just always plays music, and loves it also. It doesn’t matter what it is."
