You know, I like making a new character from scratch on a game I'm excited about and even PBs (and conversations leading up to picking one) can be fun, I've even even been known to hunt through my notes and the googlez for appropriate book quotes that fit the concept... but music? I can't find and wouldn't even know how to start looking for a soundtrack if I tried.
Sometimes a particular song is part of the inspiration for a concept, which helps.
I'll confess to being lazy enough to just open up my iTunes library and scroll through it looking for things that would fit with the concept I'm working on. Once I have that list noted down somewhere, I'll start googling for "songs about <character element>" or "<emotional state> songs" or whatever, and scroll through some clickbait lists to see if anything there catches my eye. And sometimes if I don't have enough ideas after using those methods, I'll try using iTunes "Genius" feature to fill out my candidates with songs like some of the ones I already like.
Sometimes none of these things work. And then I'll sort of backburner the whole soundtrack thing until some play happens and I get a better grasp of the character.
