It was hard to chose from just one of my many artistic inspirations to write about because there are so many influential people in the industry that constantly inspire me. I chose Donald Glover because he is someone who whether I knew it or not, I have been aware of and has influenced my life for a very long time. My first time really recognizing his work was probably when I was in 8th grade and I heard Childish Gambino's first debut album <i>Campfire </i>which has been one of my all time favorite albums sense then and caused me to take a closer look at this individual. Not only was I impressed by his catchy beats and smooth tone, but the rhythm and artistry of his lyrics and music caused me to analyze music in a way I had never thought to before. My obsession continued as I realized he was also an actor and voiced one of my favorite characters on an animated T.V. show my brother and I loved and so I started to follow his career, leading me to his standup-comedy career as well as his original show, <i>Atlanta. </i>My fondness for this man only grew as I continued to enjoy his music through his iconic <i>Redbone </i>era where he incorporated many unique aspects from different genres of music into a more pop oriented piece, as well as his influential statement with his song <i>This Is America</i> which made apparent commentary of the brutal history black Americans have endured throughout history and to this day. Mr. Glover has never ceased to impress me and educate me in a creative and constructive manor that is very unique and he has truly shaped the industry of comedy, music, and cinema.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.vulture.com/2016/08/donald-glover-atlanta.html">https://www.vulture.com/2016/08/donald-glover-atlanta.html</a></p><p><span> </span>In this article, Glover talks about his the his wildly successful show show <i>Atlanta </i>which he created, produced, cowrote and stared in. His wide range of experience in comedy, music, and the television industry give him the qualifications in the field, but his more unique experience of being a predominant black man in a white dominated industry gives his work a different affect than most other shows or movies, focusing on different black experiences rather than playing into the outdated Hollywood standards of cinema.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/may/12/the-rise-of-donald-glover-childish-gambino">https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/may/12/the-rise-of-donald-glover-childish-gambino</a></p><p> This article focuses mostly on Donald Glovers musical career as "Childish Gambino", more specifically it goes into depth talking about his hit song <i>This is America, </i>which is a work of art as well as a political statement. The song and music video portray many literal and more abstract concepts of different experiences of black American throughout the U.S. history. The 2019 video depicting gun violence as well as a sense of soul and community in the video seems to have some powerful foreshadowing affects of the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement, although it is obvious to Gambino as well as anyone who looks throughout our history that is not a new issue.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2552172/donald-glover-cool-facts-you-might-not-know-about-the-actor-and-musician">https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2552172/donald-glover-cool-facts-you-might-not-know-about-the-actor-and-musician</a></p><p><span> Donald Glovers long timeline in the spotlight and many roles in the media are highlighted in this article.

My question for you today is, do you know who Disney’s “Nine Old Men” are? These nine men were the core animators who created most of the movies we grew up watching. From <i>Peter Pan</i> and <i>Sleeping Beauty</i>, to <i>The Jungle Book</i> and <i>Pinocchio</i>, these men were key to creating the famous movies we all know and love today. The Nine Old Men consists of Les Clark, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Milt Kahl, Ward Kimball, Eric Larson, John Lounsbery, Wolfgang Reitherman, and last but not least Frank Thomas. Although they have all passed on, we can still enjoy their movies and animations today. I chose to talk about Disney’s Nine Old Men because I grew up watching their creations, and I know many others did too. These movies were a big part of my childhood and always brought a smile to my face. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPiezCHIsYpEkX6fJ1Tuurd3OwuKa__CkZziMTMvXWDilWtBgmlicjuUoZARAKdBnVrhAMg_w-aXat7Wblyn_4mu8amiFyEKGA9tyx0ouKR5kUhY640c_oulyf-R7B2eF3adHu9B44Fdf8/s799/10640488765_94ea887ec8_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="447" data-original-width="799" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPiezCHIsYpEkX6fJ1Tuurd3OwuKa__CkZziMTMvXWDilWtBgmlicjuUoZARAKdBnVrhAMg_w-aXat7Wblyn_4mu8amiFyEKGA9tyx0ouKR5kUhY640c_oulyf-R7B2eF3adHu9B44Fdf8/s320/10640488765_94ea887ec8_c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://www.thisdayindisneyhistory.com/nineoldmen.html</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">If your interested in learning or reading more about any of these nine men's</span> <span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">careers, this is a great website to begin on.

Her music differs from other styles of R&B due to it's emotional highs and lows and precise lyrical flow. She is able to translate her emotions onto paper and use her expressive and creative talent seamlessly. She carries an element of mystery about her and chooses to cover her eyes with sunglasses. This is a way to protect herself from herself. The eyes are seen as windows to the soul, and she describes this need to wear shades as reflecting and seeing one's "self" in her eyes. This mirroring is deeply personal. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlxHeoxqLvrt5PdpqplYwBhy-z_j4mT-r9rh3F_GhSAEwZJLPEcqJrVLULQPUnl_8S8wvpJjcsKQfuwCvjc_uLrj3UI_3XlF4Ot5C5KCTYVR_6N6U6g5iGDPhd1kW414JPjLlT-kb3vdo/s799/38406029481_f04b963f72_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="799" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlxHeoxqLvrt5PdpqplYwBhy-z_j4mT-r9rh3F_GhSAEwZJLPEcqJrVLULQPUnl_8S8wvpJjcsKQfuwCvjc_uLrj3UI_3XlF4Ot5C5KCTYVR_6N6U6g5iGDPhd1kW414JPjLlT-kb3vdo/s320/38406029481_f04b963f72_c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;">https://www.elle.com/culture/music/a23305900/her-music-interview/ </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This website highlights an interview with Gabriella and talks about her rise to fame being somewhat anonymous with minimal promotion and how she got her start in 2016 releasing her Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 EP covers with just a silhouette. Gabby talks about why she created this persona and says that, "I think it has allowed me to make the music the focus, and for people not to care about the superficial things, or who I am associated with, what clique I belong too, all those things that don't matter... it's really made people focus on the music, and that's what's special about it." She explains what her inspiration behind her album was, how she channels Lauren Hill in her song, "Lost One's," and her songwriting process. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj16UkPrRQmNVhRBoocGbHYqDpy6NHeJRzMO3IjEpJupyBrqFoh1gCh-JDM1rjF9jlFr3aJSq3vTKEkDttxMROy3RONYU_PznlGxrenYyuounpeWrxh-YQpYD-ScJSZraFaqx-zmEKWX4w/s799/37691663034_68155359cc_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="799" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj16UkPrRQmNVhRBoocGbHYqDpy6NHeJRzMO3IjEpJupyBrqFoh1gCh-JDM1rjF9jlFr3aJSq3vTKEkDttxMROy3RONYU_PznlGxrenYyuounpeWrxh-YQpYD-ScJSZraFaqx-zmEKWX4w/s320/37691663034_68155359cc_c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">https://wwd.com/eye/people/h-e-r-reveals-all-identity-the-bay-area-prince-lauryn-hill-1202777633/</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This interview talks about Gabby's roots, how she grew up and more of her musical inspirations.

"I reveal who I am and my stories and my emotions, and music is an outlet for me. But it's all revealed through my music and my message. Even though I don't show my face, and I don't show people who I am and more about me, you get to know who I am in my music."

Copeland is also the first African American woman to be promoted to principal dancer in ABT’s 75 year history. Copeland began dancing ballet at the age of 13, but quickly proved herself to be a prodigy. She quickly became an award winning dancer - winning the Los Angeles Music Center Spotlight Award as the best dancer in Southern California at age 15. Copeland joined ABT in 2000 at 18 years old, becoming a corps de ballet dancer in 2001, and then a soloist in 2007. Copeland is hailed as one of the top 100 Most Influential People by Time magazine and has ventured into public speaking. She has published 2 autobiographical books: Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina (2014), and Firebird (2014). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I find Misty Copeland inspirational in that she was able to break the glass ceiling as an female African American ballet dancer, and challenge the preconceived notion that a ballet dancer is fair skinned. For a long time, representation of diversity in ballet was extremely poor; seeing each forefront ballet dancer share the same light skin tone was almost always guaranteed. Having Copeland break that barrier in that company and become a forefront dancer even when the odds were against her was more that enough to spark some change in the ballet world. Having been a ballet dancer for most of my life, it’s really inspiring to see a dancer who defied all odds and persevered to become one of the best. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU0fZoWsLqbQuEQ04ln-kCpUaaVcFWMkYJOrZAHSFQc6fk50BGLHf-Ns8zN7sgiMDymBogcsUT_Atq5j4rbqovSD0lwZrW6EDnOdEbneZBRSYUeqbCMwCFyn_wrJNHkAdQYmNKCcXomBs3/s1599/770ED79E-9D69-4204-BFB3-310FEAC6D50A.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1599" data-original-width="1240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU0fZoWsLqbQuEQ04ln-kCpUaaVcFWMkYJOrZAHSFQc6fk50BGLHf-Ns8zN7sgiMDymBogcsUT_Atq5j4rbqovSD0lwZrW6EDnOdEbneZBRSYUeqbCMwCFyn_wrJNHkAdQYmNKCcXomBs3/s320/770ED79E-9D69-4204-BFB3-310FEAC6D50A.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://mistycopeland.com/">https://mistycopeland.com/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is Copeland’s official website.

Louis is known as a singer, songwriter, actor, and soccer player. While in high school he was always the lead in the school play and he has started as a side character in two movies. His success in the musicals at school influenced him to audition for the X-factor. In 2010 he auditioned for the X-factor as a solo artist. While he was successful for the first round he did not make it to the judge's houses round. Simon Cowell chose four of the boys that were sent home to make a boyband; Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik, and thus One direction was formed. The X-factor Journey for the band was successful; they kept advancing into the next round until the finale where they got third. They got third place but the success didn’t stop. Within the next year, they released their first album and tour. Five years, five albums, and six world tours later they decided to take a hiatus. While in his boyband One Direction he co-wrote hit songs like, Steal My Girl, Midnight Memories and Story Of My Life. He also wrote songs while in the band like No Control and Home. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-6a767638-7fff-615e-905a-ba702d0ff0ec"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In 2015 when the band went on hiatus they decided to start their solo careers but Louis’ was delayed a little bit due to the passing of this mother in 2016. Later in 2016, he released his first solo song titled Just Hold On that he collaborated with Steve Aoki. This song is about him dealing with the emotions that come with losing a close family relative. In 2019 another family tragedy happened and he lost his sister to an unknown heart condition. As a result of his sister’s and mother’s death, he wrote the song titled Two of us. While dealing with the losses of his family members he still had been writing for his debut album this also put a slight delay on the album. Louis’ album came out in January 2020 titled Walls. In interviews, he talks about the meanings of the songs. He says this album is very honest and open while he has never said what songs are about what he says some songs are about love than some are about family. The songs on the album consist of some love ballads and some songs for his fans. This album was solely written by him except for Only The Brave. </span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I resonate the most with is; Two of Us. The first verse is very emotional as it says; “It's been a minute since I called you, Just to hear the answerphone, Yeah, I know that you won't get this, But I'll leave a message so I'm not alone, This morning I woke up still dreaming, With memories playing through my head, You'll never know how much I miss you, The day that they took you, I wish it was me instead” Over the past year I have had a recent family death and I took it really hard. I understand a lot of the lyrics in the song like when he says “Just to hear the answerphone” For the longest time after when I was upset and I missed their voice I would call her phone just to hear her voice again and I would and still do play old voicemails to hear her voice again. Losing a close family member can be really rough at all times of the day so when I listen to this song I know that I'm not alone in how I feel and my feelings of being resentful, upset, and mad at them for leaving. Another lyric that stands out to me is in the second verse as it says “</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I know you'll be looking down, swear I'm gonna make you proud” I like to think of this as the loved ones that are no longer here with us are still looking down on us and they should be proud of how far we have come since facing the hardship of losing them.</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/3142989/louis-tomlinson-we-made-it-interview/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://www.mtv.com/news/3142989/louis-tomlinson-we-made-it-interview/</span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">MTV interviewed Louis and they talked about his single We Made It.

They also talk about how writing as a solo artist is more like swimming against the tide because you can bounce ideas off each other in a band and when you are solo you don’t have the option to do that as much. He also said that he took a lot of time on writing the songs because the lyrics are important and meaningful. He also said that the song two of us is one of his proudest moments because of how important the message is. </span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span></div><p><br /></p>halihallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03497240491630276182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764936893249601685.post-53401142585284730062020-11-07T16:36:00.000-08:002020-11-07T16:36:00.274-08:00Lorde<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja95gbNFVym8RlOYtTD0R1gLZwMsAN7O20LX33Rf80pDACXde5RH7YfH-eaoOb-lWHwwxSmq2gtzQ-7HVmoLchYnKQeZ5SkinT-scTjr4pK3wCHw-qDxW7O6per-Be4n7MywN47eUI8dk/s499/Lorde.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="333" data-original-width="499" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja95gbNFVym8RlOYtTD0R1gLZwMsAN7O20LX33Rf80pDACXde5RH7YfH-eaoOb-lWHwwxSmq2gtzQ-7HVmoLchYnKQeZ5SkinT-scTjr4pK3wCHw-qDxW7O6per-Be4n7MywN47eUI8dk/w321-h215/Lorde.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><p><br /></p><span> </span>Ella Marija Lani Yekich- O' Connor, known as Lorde, is a singer/ songwriter from Auckland, New Zealand. Lorde is known for her unique on stage dancing, vocals, and lyrics. Her first hit song, "Royals" released in 2013, was in the electropop genre, however her songs tend to flow between genres which she enjoys. Her lyrics are very poetic, which is taken after her mother who is a poet. This leads to the listeners interpreting lyrics in different ways, as there are a lot of poetic metaphors in her songs. Her lyrics are relatable and about her life growing up, heartbreak, and being a wild and angsty young adult. She is not afraid to be herself within her music and on stage, marking her as a unique person, however, it's just her being authentic. Many people call her weird because of this, but I believe it makes her an amazing artist who inspires many. Lorde also is not afraid to use her voice to speak up about political and worldly issues, and is not very active on her social media, which is rare for artists these days. She does have an email subscription which I along with many others have subscribed to. Lorde uses that platform to "catch up" with her fans by writing in the style of an informal letter, like she is just catching up with a friend. It has been 3 years since she last released an album, but recently posted to her Instagram story, telling her American fans to vote, saying that she has a present next year if we all vote. Many have speculated that this will be her next long awaited album. <p></p><p><br /></p><p>Today, November 7th, happens to be her birthday as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>https://www.lorde.co.nz/</p><p>This is Lorde's official website, which includes information about her.

I think Khalid is one of the most influential artists in the music industry in today's society. His music relates with so many teenagers and young adults that it is so easy to relate and connect with him through his music. He is always so positive and genuinely cares for his fans. He works hard on the music he creates and has a unique sound that you would not find in many other artists. He sings about such good vibes and the things we go through as teenagers mixed with a smooth r&b sound that is unique to his style.</div>

In 2016, an A&R executive came across a song on SoundCloud by an artist going by his first name Khalid and connected with him over twitter, telling him he had something special. Khalid was a senior in high school at the time his first hit song "Location" blew up on all streaming services and he was a hit overnight. Since this burst of fame in 2017, he has had two successful tours for his two albums, has millions of fans and followers on social media, has been nominated for many music awards from the Grammys to the Billboards to the AMA's, has won Favorite Album, Favorite Male Artist, Best New Artist, etc., and achieved many other accolades in only a span of 4 years in his career. </div>

The "American Teen" from the city of El Paso has always carried his hometown roots with him no matter where he goes. He has dedicated multiple songs to the Suncity and has put the city on the map for everyone to know where he is from and what it means to him. In 2019, when he was only 21 years old, Khalid hosted a benefit concert to raise money for the victims of the El Paso shooting that took place in September. He spoke very deeply about how the tragedy affected him and the issues of gun violence around the world, and wanted to give back to his community that he says gave so much to him.</div>

Khalid became a star at the age of 18 when his debut "Location" was a hit around the world. He is leading the change for R&B's future and the future of the world, led by the American teens. He creates his music that makes you feel good and just makes you want to dance. He uses his feelings to create such authentic music that doesn't fit in a genre, it's just a mood and a moment which makes him so unique and unlike anyone else. </div>

In this 2018 Rolling Stone article, Solana Rowe (also known as SZA) explains her rise to fame as well as the trials and tribulations that led her there. Growing up as one of the few people of color in her neighborhood, SZA dealt with bullying and being ostracized by her fellow peers. Solana's father was also Muslim and she wore a hijab in her youth; it was clear she faced her fair share of uphill battles. After dropping out of college and couch surfing, she fell into a deep depression and turned to the "one thing she didn't suck at": music. SZA explains her own disposition as a "run-on-can’t-calm-down-waves-of-emotion kind of thing" and does not shy away from emotional outbursts. This is exemplified in her music: mellow, chill beats with lyrics that are far from mellow or chill. Her past traumas are huge points of inspiration in her music.<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: TimesNewRoman, Times New Roman, Times, Baskerville, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> This 2020 Rolling Stone article was different from any interview Solana Rowe had done; it was her first interview in a year. Since the success of her 2016 album <i style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Ctrl</i>, many things in SZA's life has changed. For one, her grandmother (who makes different cameo appearances on many of her songs) and her aunt passed away. Many factors, such as the quick rise to fame, led Solana to a place where she was "just trying not to die". Due to the success of <i style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Ctrl, </i>her eager fan base has been prodding her about the release of her next album. SZA's perspective is this: she needs to find herself and get well so she can accurately depict the woman she is today. For the past year, she has been immersing herself in healing practices and staying away from the spotlight. As she puts it, </span>“You really have to choose to feel better. You have to. Because if you don’t, you just die.” Throughout all of the anxious waiting for her next album, one thing can be certain: it is definitely going to be good and <i>real. </i></span></div>

SZA explains that coming out with an album and touring allowed her to overcome her biggest fear: being completely herself for millions of people. Solana explains her relationship with fame and the people in her life, as often the two are intertwined. In terms of her new music, she is trying to find a balance between simplicity and complexity.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: TimesNewRoman, Times New Roman, Times, Baskerville, Georgia, serif;"> In terms of my own opinion of SZA's artwork, she has been one of the most relatable artists for me and a lot of people my age. While a large portion of her fanbase (including myself) have not experienced the things she has in her life, her music seems to speak to all hurts. As she states in multiple different interviews, she is not afraid to shy away from hard emotions; it definitely shows in her song lyrics. As she goes back and forth from embracing her sexuality to questioning her worth as a woman, she exemplifies the 20-something era of young adolescents. </span></div>

She was studying neuroscience and electroacoustics (how the brain reacts to music). Some people may know Grimes as Elon Musk’s girlfriend and mother to their child X Æ A-12 (pronounced “Ash”). Her strange and unconventional music as well as her presentation makes her stand out not only as a musical artist but as a style icon. Grimes, although her music is mostly electropop (songs like “Oblivion” and “Artangels”) she dips into semi-acoustic music as well on her newest album, Miss Anthropocene, where songs such as “Delete Forever” have a softer sound to them.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

Eric Parker is an action sports photographer who works with Teton Gravity Research. Aong with being at the top of the game with action sports photography he is also at the top of the game in whitewater kayaking and skiing. This is how he gets such incredible shots. I find his work so inspiring because he goes the extra mile to get these photos, he is doing exactly what all of the professional athletes hes with are doing except he has all of his camera gear. Along with this he has to go ahead and go behind and catch up just so he can get the shot. His work is really inspiring, going places many other photographers do not.<br />

Takashi Murakami became most famous in the early 2000’s for his superflat movement. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: right; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SoFlo </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: right; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Superflat</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-align: right; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> describes an art genre started in Miami in the 1990s.

Mamoru Fujisawa, though known professionally and world wide as Joe Hisaishi, is a Japanese composer and musical director known for over 100 film scores and several albums dating back to 1981. He is associated with and known for composing the film scores for animator Hayao Miyazaki (creater of films like <i>Spirited Away, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke</i>, etc.), having composed scores for all but one of his films. He was also a student of legendary anime composer Takeo Watanabe (<i>Cutie Honey, Candy Candy, Lone Wolf and Cub, Mobile Suit Gundam</i>).</div>
<div>
<br />
Joe Hisaishi's music is beautiful and known to explore and incorporate different genres, including minimalist, experimental electronic, European classical, and Japanese classical.<br />

The first time I heard Joe Hisaishi's music was when I watched my first Miyazaki film: Spirited Away. My father introduced me to the various Miyazaki films (Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, etc.) when I was young, and later when I wanted to just listen to the film scores from his amazing movies, I discovered Joe Hisaishi. It blew me away that the music for the majority of the Miyazaki movies that I had so come to love had been created by Joe Hisaishi. Having played the piano since I was in first grade, I knew for myself how much skill it takes to play an instrument. Therefore, it is even more amazing to me the skill and talent it takes to <i>create</i> music and such works of art. The sheer musical genius it must take to be able to create the music that so enhances the storylines of the Miyazaki films, it left me in awe.<br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Foster The People is an indie-pop/rock band formed in 2009 from Los Angeles, California. Foster The People broke through the indie-pop music scene in 2010 with their hit "Pumped Up Kicks" from their first album/EP, Torches. The band originally included three members; Mark Foster, Mark Pontius, and Cubbie Fink. Cubbie Fink left in 2015, and the band added Sean Cimino and Isom Innis. Mark Foster, the genius behind the music, is the writer, lead singer, guitarist, and pianist. Mark Pontius is the drummer, Sean Cimino plays guitar, piano, keyboards and backing vocals, and Isom Innis mostly plays piano, keyboards, and percussion. Mark Foster writes virtually all the songs but always gets input and help from his fellow bandmates. Foster The People have 3 albums; Torches (2011), Supermodel (2014) and Sacred Hearts Club (2017). Each album has proven their creativeness, talent, and range. Foster The People won Top Rock Song at the Billboard Music Awards in 2012 for Pumped Up Kicks, along with 4 nominations in other categories. Foster The People have been nominated many times for their albums and songs, and are recognized as an iconic and influential indie-pop band in the 2010s that shaped the genre for the upcoming years. Foster The People has been my favorite band since I discovered them in 2012. They are now one of the biggest bands in indie-pop, but I hope I can show more people their breathtaking music. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Foster The People not only has amazing music, and to me, not one bad song, but they also recognize their huge platform and use it for good. Mark Foster, the owner of the Foster The People Twitter account, regularly posts about politics, as a progressive activist. Foster actively recognizes the inequalities in society and the media today and uses his platform to address and call attention to it. Mark Foster (and the rest of the band) have addressed multiple times their opposition about Trump and his administration, and the racist, sexist, xenophobic, and corrupt ideologies he has. Foster The People are constantly advocating for change and helping people do so by informing and providing directions on how to get involved. This band not only provides us with great, talented, and mesmerizing music, but also uses their platform for good.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">This link to a Los Angeles Times article explains the political agenda of Foster The People's second album. Mark Foster is interviewed since he writes the songs, and explains the political agenda he wrote about on their second album, Supermodel. Foster explains how the album sort of "exposes" modern day politics, and the people we tend to put on Pedestals. Foster draws attention to Western culture, consumerism and the dangers of Capitalism. He says that we tend to "worship" politicians and make them a huge celebrity.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">In this link, Relix showcases Foster The People and their new (at the time) album, Sacred Hearts Club. In the beginning of the article, the main keyboardist is showcased, sharing how much time and effort he has put into the album, with little to no time to relax. The band explains how they wanted this album to have a 60's/70's psychedelic rock feel. It in fact did, but they also included a lot of other genres on this fluid album. Foster and Innis started making the album in 2014, right after the Supermodel tour. The album ended up being a great success, and showed their fans and audiences how versatile and creative they can really be.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">In this CNN article, Foster focuses on the gun violence in America, and how he brought awareness to it in their breakout hit, Pumped Up Kicks. This article was written in November of 2017, when the Las Vegas shooting was still fresh and lingering. He explains that the song is about a boy fantasizing to shoot up his school. Foster says that he wanted to draw attention to gun violence with this song, hoping it would get better, but it in fact, got worse. Foster explains how the lawmakers have made little to no progress with the gun violence epidemic, and that needs to change. </span></div>

Travis Scott is one of the most impactful musicians in the Hip Hop Industry. Born Jacques Webster on April 30, 1992 he began making music in the Houston suburbs. Though he dabbled with music in his teen years, it wasn’t until he dropped out of college that he really committed his life to music. He dropped out of college and moved to Los Angeles and caught his first big break when he was hired as an in-house producer for the label GOOD music which was run by Kanye West. From there, Travis Scott’s career has only sky rocketed. His latest solo album, Astroworld, has earned him a Favorite Rap and Hip-Hop Album of 2018 award as well as an AllMusic Best of 2018 award. Whether It be from collaborating with Nike to make his signature shoes or to creating a pop festival in his hometown for the youth, Travis can really do it all. Now married to a global icon, Kylie Jenner, Travis is now a father to 2 year old, Stormi, It’s only a matter of time until he becomes a mogul in the rap game. <o:p></o:p><br />

Wayne White is an American visual artist, who has worked on several different projects over the course of his life. One of his most notable projects was his contribution to the TV show <i>Pee-wee's Playhouse. </i>White designed the set and puppets for the show, which ultimately won him three Emmy Awards. He was hired as the art director for music videos for Peter Gabriel and the Smashing Pumpkins, which also won him several awards, including the Billboard award for best art direction in a music video. In recent years, he has been focused on his painting and visual art. While he has worked with 3D mediums, his most well known work is a series of paintings titled "Word Paintings". In this series, White searches for mass-produced lithographs at thrift stores and paints words and phrases over the piece in a bold, 3D style. These paintings are often light hearted and humorous, which effectively changes the tone of the original work from boring to interesting. Wayne White's work is particularly compelling because he strives to turn mass-produced or cookie cutter artwork into an experience for the viewer that is interpretive and interesting to the eye. All of his work is bold and colorful, with a background that juxtaposes the subject of the piece. His work on <i>Pee-wee's Playhouse</i> is rather distinct, and earned him his reputation in the art community as a comedic and tactical genius. A lot of his work is attended to bring joy to the viewer; he works to make people smile. However, he also excels at creating work that successfully sends a message to the viewer, displaying his world views and morality. For example, in his word painting entitled "Beauty is Embarrassing" (pictured above), White aims to playfully tease human nature and the need to appear flawless, by claiming that the act itself should cause shame. He is definitely a talented artist, with original ideas, and is particularly notable, in an age where the norm is to take one's own self too seriously.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most people don't know who Sam Toft is. She is an artist based out of England, and her work is very distinct. When I was in high school, I had to do an assignment where we mimicked an artists work, and I chose Sam Toft. Her artwork always caught my eye because there is a running theme in her paintings, there is always a man and almost every time there is a dog. It is never the same dog, but it is always the same man in each painting and he is always doing something, such as going for a walk, riding a bike, or going to the beach. This always intrigued me because I would think it is hard to come up with new ideas when you're painting the same thing over and over again. But somehow Sam Toft seems to do it and its very interesting. Her artwork is quirky and humorous because she always draws the same subject but in different scenarios that aren't quite normal. I just think it is interesting how most artists have different gallery and draw or paint different things, but Sam Toft draw the same person over and over again and sticks to it.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">I imagine that most of us have heard the iconic vocals of legendary singer, Chris Cornell, who can be heard in Soundgarden, </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">Temple of the Dog, </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">and </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">Audioslave</span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">. Gone before his time, Chris Cornell touched the hearts of millions of people around the world, partially due to his disheveled, yet classically charming blue-eyed look. Along with his alluring appearance, Chris Cornell had some killer vocals, which I would describe as being soulful and melodic. He was also the world's first introduction to grunge music. Most notably to Chris's singing would be his four-octave vocal range, which can be heard in every one of his songs. Chris Cornell started his prosperous career in the early 80's with his first band, </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">Soundgarden</span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">. Early in their career, </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">Soundgarden</span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;"> achieved global recognition after the release of singles, "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman." Whilst in </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">Soundgarden</span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">, Chris Cornell partnered with </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">Pearl Jam </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">to release a single album called </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">Temple of the Dog. </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">This album reached great success with the partnership of Chris Cornell and lead Pearl Jam vocalist, Eddie Vedder. From Temple of the Dog, songs such as "Say Hello 2 Heaven" and "Hunger Strike" were most popular upon release. Soundgarden rocked the nation between the years 1984 and 1997, when the </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">group split up due to tension between the members. This wasn't the end of Chris Cornell's career though, as he was contacted by Zack de la Rocha from </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">Rage Against the Machine, in the hopes that Chris would consider forming a new group with him. Only a few years later, </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">Audioslave released its first album, with incredible success and recognition from the vocals of Chris Cornell. From this 2002 album, songs such as "Like a Stone," "Cochise," and "Show Me How to Live" launched Audioslave into triple-platinum status in the United States. Audioslave remained a group from 2001-2007, when the band split and Chris Cornell was yet again, left to </span><span style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">himself. Of course this wasn't the end of Chris's career, as he went onto do soloist work until his untimely death in 2017. The death of legendary vocalist, Chris Cornell, was a massive loss to the rock music industry. Unsurprisingly, Chris Cornell's music is still played by millions of people around the world. A year after Chris's death, Vicky Karayiannis, Chris's wife, collaborated with his bandmates and friends to create the tribute album, <i>Chris Cornell, </i>to highlight the legend's work over the years. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">I would highly recommend anyone who has an appreciation for rock music, to check out Chris Cornell's work if unfamiliar with it! Part of my love for Chris Cornell comes from childhood memories of my parents playing his music from Soundgarden and Audioslave. Since gaining a greater appreciation for music, I have sought after many songs of Chris Cornell, because not only are they nostalgic, they are just fun to rock out to. I could, without shame, blast Chris Cornell in the car with all windows down. Down below are links to Chris's most notable albums, and other resources to learn more about his life and music career.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Karliene Reynolds hails from Scotland, but currently lives
in Australia. She started writing music and singing as a hobby in 2010, and began
posting uploads of her singing on YouTube in the same year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’s now singing full time. Reynolds also
draws fanart in her spare time, her most recent being a portrait of Yennefer
from Netflix’s <i>The</i> <i>Witcher</i>. She also sings songs inspired by her Celtic
roots, or by TV shows like <i>Hannibal</i>, <i>The</i> <i>Witcher</i>, and <i>Game</i>
<i>of</i> <i>Thrones</i>. Reynolds has said before that her songs are borne of
some kind of obsession, and I can really see it when she sings the historical
story “Gentleman Jack,” or “The Beast Within,” a song inspired by Hannibal that
really places me, as the listener, as both hunter and prey. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the most admirable things about Reynolds is that, in
her own words, she enjoys exploring “new ways of telling stories through
sounds,” and this comes out through her music. Her songs elicit powerful
emotional reactions. Furthermore, her songs either place me, as the listener,
in the perspective of her characters, or let me imagine my own. This is
important because it allows me to experience a new perspective other than the
one I live through my own eyes and ears. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Born September 7th, 1930, Rollins still lives today, alongside his powerful works of jazz. As someone who wanted to be remembered for always wanting to be better, Rollins did more than live up to his goal. Having had recorded over 60 albums, Rollins is known for his skills in improvisation.<br />
Rollins tone echos through his saxophone in each piece he performs. The way he sings each song to the audience through the vibration of the tenor is an inspiration for many. His songs reflect a multitude of emotion, making each piece related to everyone. Sonny received his first performance Grammy for <i>This Is What I Do</i>, and his second for <i>Without a Song</i>, in 2004. To make 2004 even better, that year he was also awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.<br />
As someone who enjoys thinking outside the box, Rollins is credited for his unique, risk-taking music style. Consequently, he was one of the first people to improvise without following the tempo, successfully. This was a huge milestone in jazz music. Rollins is also credited for swinging within a solo while his band members kept a strict tempo. Overall, Rollins' playing is groundbreaking, and introduced many of jazz's key characteristics into present day music.<br />
