We have all had a song in our lives that we heard at an early age, and it has just stuck with us ever since. It’s the kind of song that you can never get yourself to delete off your playlist, even though it is no longer your favorite song. So, when it begins to play out of your phone speakers, you never skip it. You would never actively look for that song, but it still gave you a feeling of content every time you heard it. That is the feeling I get when I hear “Firefly” by Owl City. Even though…

FIVE DOLLAR DAY Wake up, hope for the best, work nine hour days, and still only make $2.25 per day.

Name of singer and instruments played. The singer I will be doing my assessment on is J.cole, J.cole was highly influenced by more electronic artists so most of his instruments are equipment like beat pads, the keyboard and of course his voice. Just because his music is mainly loops and sounds doesn’t mean there are no drums and such involved, he often uses drum loops, guitar samples etc… Brief Biography. J.cole, also known as Jermaine Cole has had an extremely tragic life, he was born at a US…
attributed to the goal of making the world society’s oyster, accessible to all with free trade, free communication and limitless global communication on the worldwide web.

I remember at an early age receiving my first cassette tape, which happened to be a gift from my mother. This tape contained the album “Surfin’ Safari” by The Beach Boys and was a life-long favorite of my mothers.

This was the earliest memory I have where I can clearly recall when my obsession with music began. From this early point, I began diverging into many different genres…
Beautiful Looking at me, you may not believe that I went through an Eminem phase. It all started when I was babysitting one night and 8 mile, a movie loosely based on the life of Marshal Mather’s better known as Eminem, came on (don’t worry, the kids were already sound asleep). I loved the movie and the music in it so much that I started researching Eminem’s life. I mean the man is a lyrical genius how can you not become slightly obsessed with him at some point in your life. I started listening…
confusing material. Finding the time for this mass amount of homework was difficult. Because of all this work, I was overwhelmed with stress and exhaustion. The only thing keeping me awake through the homework was the heaviest of metal I had in my playlist and dangerous amounts of energy drinks. I often found myself stressed and wanting to drop one of my classes so that I would have more time to study, while having one less class to worry…
