Julie Hart's Strengthen In The Music Industry

Every music artist begins somewhere. Every artist had to do something to get their music out there. No one just automatically becomes famous. Then everyone wants to listen to your music. You start out new and anonymous and become more popular over time. Artist become famous by advertising. Every music artist should be able to advertise.

Buffy Sainte-Marie, is a Canadian musician, composer, visual artist, educator, and social activist. Throughout her career in all of these areas, her work has focused on issues of indigenous peoples of the Americas. In any of Buffy’s albums one will find decorous waltzes, among lyrical efflorescences weighted with imagery which grants an occasional glimpse of a steel mind. Her French style torchers have all the gripping qualities of that superannuated mode, combined with unconventional love song lyrics. Other love songs are warmly sentimental, with haughty and forbidding undercurrents. The one quality they all have in common is their lively tension. She was also a capable interpreter of outside material, and to top it off, her idiosyncratic vibrato made large-scale commercial success out of the question. Recently, Buffy adorns her native habiliment as she undertakes a partnership with the RSO seeking to promote a dialogue of truth and reconciliation surrounding the atrocities inflicted upon Native Americans by the white man. The partnership includes a Regina-based concert at the Conexus Art Center on October 11th which I’ve attended, followed by a tour of three First Nations communities across southern Saskatchewan, with a focus on Treaty 4 land. Herein, I will examine two songs Buffy played during her Oct 11th concert and offer an inchoate critique of her performance.

Heath Harwood is in this band because he has had experience in the music industry and I think he would ground the band as whole. He grew up in a big family, from a young age he enjoyed music and guitar. He made his break doing live shows and he was spotted by a company willing to sign him. In 2011 he released his first album "=" it has since been certified platinum 6 times. He first rose to fame when he accompanied Taylor Swift on her fourth album Red. In 2015 his album "@" won the brit award for album of the year. Heath was born Hebden Bridge which is near Halifax, West Yorkshire. He has one older brother named Mathew. When Heath was four he learned how to play the guitar this lead onto his dad taking him to many concerts when he turned eleven.

Over the years, musicians have allowed their music to be used in advertisements for various businesses. However, doesn’t the artist’s creativity in their music fade away after it has been used in various commercials? Most importantly, advertisements may change the lyrics to a song to relate to the product, so the business would benefit more and take the focus away from what really matters, the music.

There were many steps Garth Brooks took in making it in the music industry. Music wasn’t always Garth’s main focus. While he attended Yukon High School he played on the school’s football, baseball, and track and field team. Garth wasn’t always the best on the team but played sports only to keep his interest in school. After high school, he attended Oklahoma State University with a partial scholarship and threw javelin on the track team. While being on the track team, Garth weighed 225 pounds and could bench press more than three hundred pounds. Garth threw javelin with his brother Kelly, who also attended Oklahoma State University. The two brothers roomed together in a dormitory at the college. Garth also worked hard towards a marketing degree while he was in college. When he was not studying or being apart of the

The 10 commandments and Hammurabi’s code are simular because of they make sure people value their elders, but are different due to Hammurabi’s code having favoritism towards people of the higher class. One common theme between the two texts is the respect for their elders, “195. If a son strike his father, his hands shall be hewn off.” , and from the commandments, “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”It means that children should not disobey or harm their elders. It is important because it is a key part of values within both of the societies. Now, a key difference is the type of consequences for violating the laws. Hammurabi’s code bases theirs off of social class, and

I propose that all unsigned rising artist should target the business side of the music industry to be successful in the entertainment business because it allows the artist to be taken seriously and make solid connections that can further his/her career. Learning the works of the music industry also enables a new artist to be further successful and profitable. Recent studies show that most new artists without professional representation and a business mindset have a slimmer chance in getting signed to major or independent labels (Lowry, 2011). Overall, the specific change needed is that unsigned artists should be concentrating on their careers as professionals and not amateurs, thus focusing on the ins and outs of the music business and

Solon and Cleisthenes were two huge steps towards democracy for Athens. Before these two rulers came into power in Athens the nation was very divided. There was a huge gap in between the lower class and the upper classes. The upper class had more power due to the fact that they were educated and they had wealth. The upper class had an automatic bias towards themselves in the government making it a corrupt system and not fair for the lower class. It was not a trustworthy system because the upper class did have the same needs and requirements that the lower class did. This resulted in the lower class not having a say in the government and generally not getting what they needed. But, even when the lower class took power there was going to be there be a great

From wearing cupcake bra outfits to performing in a lavish swimsuit, Katy Perry has demonstrated how women in the music industry use sex appeal to captivate their audience. In today’s society, it isn’t uncommon to see female artists in revealing, flashy outfits surrounded by flashing lights and steam. Artists such as Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj have certainly made news headlines for their audacious performances. In many cases, artists are presenting false images to their fans as an investment for future sales. Female artists continue to be sexually objectified by their audience, which increase their viewership, which leads to record labels pressuring artists to keep a sexy image.

The music industry is made of companies which produce and sell music. The music industry as we know it was solidified in the mid-twentieth century, where records succeeded sheet music as the primary product in the music business. Record companies were established, but did not last very long until the late 1980s when the “Big Six”, a group of multinational corporations consisting of Sony, MCA, WEA, Polygram, EMI, and BMG controlled most of the market. Initially there were five corporations (CBS and RCA (both now belonging to Sony), WEA, EMI, and Polygram) that had emerged in 1978 to own 60 per cent of the market. (Wallis and Malm, 1984, p. 81)

- Brendon Urie. I was suggested singer from a list of forty. Singer was on the list because I like being involved with music, drama and dance performances including film and television. I am interested in pursuing a career as a singer because of its flexible working conditions, numerous responsibilities and numerous career preparations.

No one can deny that technology is actively changing the music industry. Production, distribution and sales of music have been affected dramatically within the last 10 years along with artists, composers, and technicians. Most of the changes have been great for consumers, but vastly negative for professionals in the music industry, however a few artists have found ways to adapt to the changing atmosphere of digitally downloaded music and use it to their advantage. We’ve seen music change form from physical, tangible products like records and CD’s to electronic single tracks stored in an invisible cloud. Two major factors in this sudden revolution are online music stores (specifically iTunes) and file sharing websites that allow music to be downloaded illegally.

My journey to the apparel world began during my time in elementary school. I knew I always wanted to do something in the creative industry, because the idea of creating something always amazed me. What particularly geared my interest to apparel design was the lack of modest clothing available in stores. I always spent plenty of time searching for not just a pretty looking garment, but also a well-covered one. I always thought to myself that there are plenty of designers out there who do great work in their specialized areas, but what’s something different that I could contribute. I slowly realized how this passion that I have turned into something that I could bring some change in the fashion industry. I didn’t want to choose between my culture/religion

The music industry has changed in very quickly in so many ways it almost seems impossible. Thomas Edison recorded the first voice in 1877 and now we listen to hundreds of different types of music on devices that hold more information than the computers that sent the first astronaut to the moon. People have been getting music in tons of ways for the past hundred plus years and when the internet came into the picture, the music industry sky rocketed. People could get their own music out and be heard just by clicking a few measly buttons and using the internet to stream millions of songs with high speed. But even though the internet has helped the music industry by making it easier to distribute, advertise, and produce music, it still has its disadvantages.

In this article, Peterson and Berger show how the organization of the popular music industry affects the music that America hears.
