Andre De Grasse: Music That Moves Me

“Music is a powerful tool for me,” Scarborough-born Olympic runner Andre De Grasse tells Apple Music of his Music That Moves Me playlist. “The beat helps maintain a steady rhythm. The lyrics provide motivation—especially the context of the song. It tends to resonate with what's currently happening around me.” His selections—which include hip-hop tracks from Key Glock and Rick Ross, and, appropriately, Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter”—match the tempo of his workouts, he says. “They’re fast-paced and motivational tracks. Calming songs, or something with more lyrics or a storyline, help me really focus in on race days.”
