James Arthur, Shawn Mendes, Alessia Cara, Adele and Demi Lovato. What do all these artists have in common besides singing…they all inspire me in what they do. To get things started, my first inspirational artist is James Arthur. James Arthur was born in North Yorkshire, England on 3/2/1988. He recently released his new hit single ‘’ Say you won’t let go’’ To me his song is perfect for three reasons, one is the fact that his voice really puts his emotion into a love song. I feel he puts all his emotions into all of his songs. His songs can be sad, depressing or dealing with love like his song titled’’ love at first sight.’’ The second reason is that he is plays his guitar while saying, his life is peaceful as long as he has someone to love, …show more content…
That can be very hard to understand at two years old. James Arthur went through some tuff times in life like being homeless and poor at one point in his life. I can relate to him just a bit because my parents also got divorced when I was about five years old. That was very hard for me to understand at five years old also. I have been very fortunate to not ever have had to experience being homeless. However, a divorce can be very sad and hurtful without the right support. I am thankful that I have and have always had a very supportive family. Everyone else may see it as a messed-up childhood, I see him as the living proof of the following quotes ‘’the storm will pass’ ’and everything works out in the end”. James copes with his problems by writing songs, I find that sometimes writing helps me deal with my emotions. Like James I feel writing songs is a way to express your emotions by talking with yourself rather than with someone else. To be able to hear that someone else is facing the same problems as you, it makes it feel a little less lonely. Those are just some reasons that James Arthur inspires me. A new inspiration to me is the uprising Canadian singer, Alessia …show more content…
The two reasons that make Shawn Mendes inspiring to me is the fact he writes his own lyrics. Also that he does not sing about money, fame or about being disrespectful to anyone. To be able to do all that and write your own lyrics and sound amazing, is no doubt inspiring. A different kind of inspiration is Bruno Mars, one of the most flashyist artist I know. Bruno Mars full name is Peter Gene Hernandes , Bruno has been singing professionally since 2004. In that same year he signed a record with one of the biggest record lable company’s ever, Atlantic Records. Then with Atlantic Records, he made to Billboards HOT 100. Since then he has sold over 100 albums and singles worldwide. Bruno Mars inspires me because he has been singing infront of thousands on thousands of people, and he makes it look almost effortless. As a singer, he gives me courage to sing in front of people. Demetria Devonne Lovato, otherwise known as Demi Lovato. Demi Lovato was born in Los Angeles, August 20th 1992. Demi Lovato in my opinion is one of best artist’s Ive’ ever heard, both male and female. Even though Demi is a celebrity and everybody loves her. She also was one of the new celebrities that has been through rough times as
Music icons that speak to my soul and still continuing to inspire me; are Jenni Rivera Mexican-American singer, American singer-songwriter and dancer Michael Jackson. The qualities of these singers which make them appealing to me include; their unique voices, powerful lyrics, and music. These are artist to me are consider legendary for their hard ethic music work.
Michael Bublé was born in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada on September 9, 1975. He is a multiple talented artist because he can sing, write songs, and act, and he is considered a modern day crooner (Bublé, 2013). His unique vocals and musical talent helped him become a successful Canadian artist. Michael Bublé can perform in different genres, has an attractive charisma which attracts the audience to him. After performing for the prime minister and his daughter, he achieved enormous amounts of recognition from all around the world, which advanced his career into the next level. Also, he presents himself as a role model for future generation artists who are developing all over the world.
Rap music has given me personally something to look up to. Not a role model but hope of continuing my dreams because rappers successfully made it. “For what’s money without happiness, or hard times without the people you love” is from a song called “Love Yourz” by J. Cole. He clearly understands how there is “beauty in the struggle and ugliness in the success” because he’s lived that life. Other songs such as “2Face” or “The Autograph” were instantly relatable to me because he has been through several struggles from the beginning of his childhood. Cole’s father left when he was six leaving his mother and younger brother alone. Cole became “the man of the house” but becoming a rapper is not as easy as it seems. Cole’s messages in these two songs are relative because I too, have had several issues with my mother and father creating a sense of lonesome. Hearing music like Coles helped me overcome my
Macklemore’s rise to fame, along with co-artist Ryan Lewis, has no doubt been well-earned. Many of his songs are more about the meaning than the attention, and his original style is one that continues to stamp Macklemore’s signature in the music industry. Macklemore did not just jump out of the sky into fame, however; he had the helping lift of inspiration from Tupac and Digital Underground to boost him over into stardom in the pop industry.
Kanye West has been an icon in American hip-hop culture for over a decade. His music, fashion line, producing skills, and flamboyant personality has influenced many people for generations to come. Coming out of Chicago, many people in the music industry didn't even think Kanye had a chance to become a figure in hip-hop, but his hard work and persistence paid off. Kanye started off his music career as a producer. He produced music for the likes of major artists such as Common and Jay-Z. His first major breakthrough came from producing Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint”— which is certified 2x platinum. Kanye believed he could be a successful rapper as well, but music executives didn't believe he had it in him. That all changed when Roc-A-Fella records signed Kanye to their label, and gave him a chance to shine as a rapper. Kanye’s background, critical analysis, and importance all shows that he has become one of the most important characters in American hip-hop culture to this day.
I had originally planned to read a novel titled The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, but I found myself struggling to become invested in the novel. Due to this I have decided to change my novel to Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Isiguro. This fictional novel is only 222 pages long, though I intend to watch the accompanying movie after completing it. With my understanding of the speed at which I read, I hope to complete this book within a day or two. I plan to write journal entries approximately every 40-50 pages, which should give me sufficient time to reflect on the events of this book. I was very drawn to this novel by the cover, as I felt that the author used some very compelling imagery, and I am excited to begin this read.
Even when he was a part of Jackson 5, the whole band depended on Michael’s performance. He was the youngest so he was full of energy and loved to dance. He began to love the excitement of being under the spotlight, entertaining the audience with all eyes fixed on him. And that is the core element of fame, especially in Pop music industry, which he later changed it for good. But first of all let’s take a look into the definition of Pop Music.

Daphne Rose Kingma once said, “Holding on is believing that there’s only a past; letting go is knowing that there’s a future.” In the novel The Lovely Bones, the author Alice Sebold depicts that one cannot move on to new things in life unless they let go of the past. Because Abigail and Lindsey let go of the tragic memories regarding Susie’s death, they are able to move on and enjoy life, but because Mr. Harvey keeps the tokens from his past victims, he is caught and killed.

Kazuo Ishiguro uses the setting of Never Let Me Go to reinforce the major ideas within the novel. To reinforce the sense of freedom Ishiguro uses driving to show that although the students of Hailsham and the cottages are now free that’s not how life has always been. Driving is shown as a time for Kathy to physically and mentally roam free, to think about the ups and downs of her life, the things that she has regretted and in a heartbeat, would do-over again. The students of Hailsham are free to wander the grounds but not leave, this is where the setting and sense of freedom within Hailsham come in to play, the perception that if they did leave and entered the forest it was practically suicide, “Once, not so long before we all got to Hailsham,

Kathy, Ruth and Tommy have all had a very similar life and visiting this abandoned boat gives them a better idea of what their lives have been like. By visiting this boat we are able to get a clear idea of what each character thinks of the boat and what it symbolises to them. The boat scene is added to the novel to show how the boat symbolises Hailsham, the students, and Kathy’s relationship with Ruth.
Michael Jackson. The Beatles. Whitney Houston. Celine Dion. What do all of these people have in common? They all wrote songs that inspire and motivate people. Songs can inflict emotions upon a person or make them perform certain actions; music is one of the most influential mediums that exists. Melodies can aid in recovery from injury. Love songs can make someone extremely joyful or deeply heartbroken. Songs about drugs and violence have the power to make someone think that those actions are what is “cool” and start doing them. Music can produce multiple responses, including physiological, emotional, and behavioral.
Every piece of me has seemed to come from an inspirational woman who has somehow graced my life. Whether for a second or for a decade, they have made imprints on my soul. To limit myself to describe the one person who has given me the most inspiration would be virtually unfeasible. I am a collage of influence and choice made by those with whom I have interacted.
