Rosé is a member of the South Korean girl group Blackpink, and now she delights her fans with her beautiful and sweet voice in the mini album solo R. Rosé grew up in Australia and her accent is very clear every time she sings in English. Although she sings since she was a child, the encouragement to be an artist came from her father, when she was 16. Then she passed in an audition of YG Entertainment and moved to South Korea, to train to be a K-pop idol. In 2016 Blackpink debuted with success and, in 2021, Rosé debuted solo with her album R, composed by two songs. On the Ground is a cheerful song with an interesting choreograph and Gone is a sad and touching song. Firstly, her fans were very disappointed about the size of the album. However, after the release, they believed that the songs reflect the artist's personality.

Harry Edward Styles (27-years-old) is a worldwide known pop and soft rock singer whose hits include Golden, Watermelon Sugar, Adore You and much more.
Harry participated of the english tv show The X Factor in 2010. Back then he was chose to be part of One Direction, but the band didn’t win the show. However, in my opinion, One Direction is one of the greatest boybands of all time and now Harry in his solo carrer since 2015 continues to be a huge succes.
I have listened to every song he ever wrote, released or sang and, as a fan, I believe that his vocal technique and song lyrics has improved more and more. Consequently, he was nominated to 3 categories in the Grammy Awards 2021 and deservedly won the best pop solo performance award.
In addition to his musical career, Harry is also a big name in the fashion world and has been working with high fashion brands like Gucci. And even though he is a famous personality in the media, he still finds time to act in social actvisms as the HeForShe gender equality movement.
Because of this, to me, he is an amazing and powerful artist and person.

Renato Russo was actually Renato Manfredini Júnior, was born in March 1960 (Rio de Janeiro) and died in October 1996, victim of HIV. Best known to created the amazing Legião Urbana, one of the most revered rock band from Brazil, and one of the most important writers and singers from his time – 80’s. In spite of this, Russo also founded another rock band – Aborto Elétrico – with Fê Lemos (nowadays drummer from Capital Inicial). Although he's born at Rio, the musician lived most part of his live in Brasília e became famous in 1985, mostly because the incredible hit “Será” - a truly hymn from 80’s. Legião Urbana launched sixteen great albums, including compilations and unpublished material. Renato Russo also launched four terrific solo albums and participed at many other projects with other artists. The singer and the band marked my adolescence. His deep lyrics have made me think about life, about my uncertainties and made me dancing a lot. Because of this, when Russo died, I felt like one of my relatives died too. It was a sad day and I still remember it today.

I was randomly clicking on YouTube videos when I found BENEE's song "Wishful Thinking", then I looked up more of her songs and fell in love. My favorite ones are "Soaked", "Wishful Thinking", "Tough Guy" and "Afterlife". She wasn't very famous back then in the beggining of 2019. She's an indie pop singer from New Zealand and her work is quite recent. BENEE began posting covers to SoundCloud and making her own music in her final year of high school. She released her first single "Tough Guy" in 2017, and her first album "Fire on Marzz" in 2019. It was kind of a surprise when I turned on the radio here in Brazil and heard her voice. And surprisingly, I didn't know that song, lol. It was her most famous song "Supalonely" She also won some awards in NZ and Europe. It makes me happy her talent is getting known!

The singer is known for her image reinventions and musical versatility. Gaga began performing as a teenager, singing at open mic nights and acting in school plays.

J.R.R. Tolkien

 or John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (January 3, 1892, South Africa) was an English writer.

However, Tolkien was not just a writer, he became a legend in the world’s literature after his two most famous creations, The Hobbit and The Lord of Rings. Besides writing, Tolkien was an English and Literature teacher, but his love was philology. By the way, his love for old languages helped him to be a translator and was the translation of Beowulf which most inspired the creation of the Middle Earth World, and his wife inspired the creation of the elvish people and language. Then, with the Middle Earth World creation, he has written some fragments which would form The Silmarillion, published by his son Christopher, and wrote The Hobbit (1937). The Hobbit was a best seller in England and it has become part of the childhood of a lot of children until now. With this success, the editor asked Tolkien to continue writing and the result of this request was the best book of 20th centuries, The Lord of Rings (1952). Nevertheless, this book was not a child’s book, it was a mix of Tolkien experiences as a catholic, as a messenger in World War I, and as a philologist who loved legends and myths. The Lord of Rings has sold more than 50 million copies and continues to be part of the life and dreams of thousands of humans worldwide. For me, it was the best fantasy tale and the rich world created by Tolkien has helped us to understand how our world deals with power, ambition, love, and friendship. The best part of Tolkien style is to make the readers part of his stories who are caught by wonderful details.

Sidoka is a Brazilian rapper that started his career  in 2017, before that he needed to conciliate the college in the morning and a full time job, after arriving from de job he spends all dawn rhyming,
that routine was very exhaustive and for that reason, in 2017, he quit his job and star dedicate full time for his music.

However he only had success after doing a feat in 'UFA' from the album "O menino que queria ser Deus", from Djonga in 2018. With this boost in his career he release a new album called 'Sommelier' and stuck his place among another rappers from Brazil.

Sidoka is all I feel, what I make a point of expressing. Sidoka is debauchery with boldness

In my opinion Sidoka is a very talented rapper because the way he make his songs is unique in the rap scenery, he put some different noises (made by him) in the middle of the song in the same volume or even louder then the actual voice, on the other hand, because of that is really difficult understand what he is singing some times.

Beside that he also have a style so different, mixing a lot of colors and accessories. A style that doesn't care about others opinion.

Vik Muniz (Vicente José de Oliveira Muniz) is a brazilian visual artist who works with painting and photography.
He started his career in the end of 1980s, after he imigrated to the United States.
Nowadays, he is internationaly recognized for using unespectable materials like sugar, liquid chocolate, peanut butter, jelly, garbage, dust and others to reproduct already-known arts and also his own jobs.
His most known works are:
"Double Mona Lisa" (made with peanut butter and jelly) and
"The Bearer Irma" (made with garbage).
The last one was created in 2008, in the biggest open-air landfill in Latin America that is located in Jardim Gramacho (Rio de Janeiro). Because of this idea, they also recorded a documentary called "Waste Land" which shows us the situation of the people that works there and how they are forgotten in degrading situations, with sadness, prejudices and deseases.
On the other hand, their purposes were to dissociate the image of the women that works there to the image of garbage, trying to make them feel like muses.
In my opinion, this artist is fantastic, not only because he turns unespectable things into amazing arts, but he is also into social projects that makes us more conscient about things that aren't in our reality.

·         Banksy is a pseudonymous for a British street artist who the identity is unknown. His works are exposed on streets, walls, and bridges since 1990, with a lot of political critics and some touches of anarchism. The graffiti that he painted are simple but with some acid messages to the main government until silly ones like the graffiti on the zoo, specifically on the penguin’s cage, which he written “We are bored of fish”.

·          My favorite work of him is one that the painting is not the important part. In 2018 he put a piece named “Girl with a balloon” to sell in a famous auction house called Sotheby’s localized in London. In the exact moment that the painting was bought it started to shred itself and everyone that was in the event become confused because no one is expecting this even the buyer of the piece.

·         The way he turns simple works in masterpieces known internationally just because of the very well done critic is the reason why I like him so much.

Tiffany Poon is a classical pianist born in 1996 in Hong Kong. Her first interest in music was in a toy piano when she was two years old, her parents noticed that and enrolled her in piano classes when she was four years old. When she was nine years old, she moved to New York with her mother to study at the Julliard School Pre-College Division, one of the best conservatories in the world, for 8 years with full scholarship. However, she doesn’t have a degree in music, but a philosophy degree by Columbia University.
She won many competitions and gave concerts all around the world, Brazil included. Tiffany has a Youtube channel which the main goal is to share her love for classical music with as many people as possible. Personally, I think she has an amazing technique and I like her motto “Keep striving” which incentives me to always do my best and keep aiming to be a better musician. I also discovered great music throughout her videos, like Schumann and Scarlatti.

Lucas Cesar Lima Silveira is a singer on Fresno band. He is merried with Karen Jonz ( a famous skater) and he has a daughter, Sky Jonz Silveira. About his career, he founded the band called Fresno in 1999, but he also used to have another projects like "Visconde", a solo project. In this pandemic, he made some lives with the intention of donation of food and provisions. (particularly I bought a t-shirt to help them with the donations). The band is braziliam and Lucas specifically is from Ceará, he was born in 1983.
I started to like his music because of the lyrics; he is a very poetic man althought he is in a rock band. And I like bouth, rock music and poetry.
Here's some verses from "Visconde" his private project.

Se a gente já soubesse como vai ser a viagem
Antes mesmo de comprar nossa passagem
A gente já virava pro outro lado e dormia (tão só)

Se a gente entendesse que há um ciclo no amor
Começa pela cura, mas termina com a dor
A nossa cama pra sempre estaria vazia

The Lumineers are an American folk rock band based in Denver, Colorado. They're active since 2005, but their growing popularity just in the 2010s. They are also know for their energetic live shows and several international hit singles including "Ho Hey", "Stubborn Love", "Ophelia" and "Cleopatra".

"We're not reinventing the wheel or doing anything that different, the songs are super simple. The ideas themselves are very simple ideas. Anyone who can play an instrument can play a Lumineers song. I think there's a certain cinematic aspect of our music that I really like."

On the other hand, their influences are:  Bob Dylan, Beethoven, Guns N' Roses, Talking Heads, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, The Cars and Leonard Cohen.

My opinion about the band is that the songs are calm and the rhythm of the songs is happy. I like the lyrics too and my favorite song of The Lumineers is Stubborn Love.

are a progressive rock band formed in 1968 and, despite being a rock band, they use elements from other genres of music, from jazz and experimental to classical music.

The band is not very famous in the present day, but they have influenced other well-known musicians. One example of this impact is Kurt Cobain, the founder of the band Nirvana, that has said the album “Red” had a major influence on his album “In Utero”.
However, the band has consistently gone through changes in the formation, and Robert Fripp is the only remaining founding member. Consenquentely, there had been changes in musical Direction and instrumentation, but for me this events don’t disturb in the experience of listening to their music.
To a fan like me, their songs are absolutely fantastic and “Epitaph” is my favorite of all. King Crimson are a band that can really make you addict to listening to music.
