Chosen Artist Research

Hi everyone today I'm going to be explaining a bit more about my artist for 'Pretty Girls' and her past and her influences.

BIOGRAPHY:


Maggie Lindemann was born in 21st July 1998 and is an American singer who was born in Dallas, Texas. She started to record her singing on the social media app called 'Keek' which she managed to gain a lot of followers on the app and lead to her also gaining more on other social media accounts too. Her career began when she was discovered by Gerald Tennison discovered a video of her singing which she then relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her music career. Lindemann's debut single was 'Knocking on your heart' was released in September 2015. It was a huge success as it ended up being in the Top 20 iTunes chart within 24 hours of it being released which managed to grab more attention about her. She then released her second single 'Couple of kids' which was released on October 2015 which wasn't as successful as 'knocking on your heart'. However, her third single 'Things' in 2016 which managed to get into the top 25 iTunes Chart a day of its release, the Spotify Top 50 charts and top 5 Canada viral chart. Lindemann's argubally most successful song 'Pretty Girl' was released on September 29th, 2016 was written by her to 'show people that they're more things to girls than just being pretty which was a success worldwide as it ended up getting over 95million views on YouTube and was her first song to be in the US Pop Radio charts and ended up in the top 50 there. 

INFLUENCES:


Lindemann was influenced by people who were less like the typical pop stars who follow the rules of the industry such as BANKS and Lana Del Rey. For example, both artists tend to have different apporach in lyric wise as BANKS she mixes her song up with a bit of R&B and POP which many other POP artists don't by having conflicting lyrics in her songs. Lana del Rey uses a similar apporach too by having a combination of 'Alternative' and 'POP' in her music by starting slow and having a mood like that throughout the song which a normal POP artists will have different beats going from fast to slow etc she only has one.
