Music celebrities in the growing entertainment industry.
Logic, Actor, Singer, Songwriter, Record Producer, Streamer, Youtuber, Author, Philosopher: Bobby Hall.
We know of many 'rags to riches' stories. Ones like the great Bobby Hall leave me truly inspired. Two of Logic's widely known hits are 1-800-273-8255 (phone number for suicide hot-line) and Homicide, which featured Eminem. There is no denying the talent. His flow, flawless.

Most of the time when you hear a song, you immediately think that the person singing it wrote the entire song by themselves. However, this is very rarely the case. Music creation is a very collaborative process and sometimes, even popular artistes who have bustling careers write music for their ‘competitors’ – fellow popular artistes.

The Drake Effect: Midas Touch
They say you know you’ve made it when you can be referred to by one name: Lebron, Serena, MJ, etc. Since about 2010, Drake has joined the conversation (also can be referred to as “Greatest Ever”). The singer-rapper hybrid is now a household name worldwide. Not only has he created success for himself, but he has created success for those around him. Many artist and/or producers have blown up due to what I call “The Drake Effect”. The Drake Effect is essentially collaborating in any way with Drake and reaping benefits of his superstardom. From here, we look at how this effect has taken place over the last decade.

SOUTH KOREA AND INDIA……SOME CONNECTION..?
I am sure not many of you have seen the most interesting series in Netflix titled Vincenzo or for that matter the most engrossing and sensitive series titled as Crash Landing On You, or Strong Girl Boong Soon or the very engrossing with a slightly off beat story, Hotel Del Luna. There is something in common in all these series that I have just mentioned. Then again probably not many of you have noticed that stars like Jin, Suga, RM, Jungkook rule the hearts of the young and the old with equal zest and zeal. Stars like, Song Joong-ki, Jeon Yeo-been increases the heart bets of the youth with their Sauvé and exceptional good looks.

MARINA: Music, Mental Illness, and Me
It's been a long time since I first heard Marina's music. Back then, she was known as Marina and the Diamonds and was currently in the midst of her Electra Heart era. I was 13 years old and in the midst of my own inner turmoil. "Teen Idle" found me at a time when I was at my most scared and alone- and I think it saved my life. I immediately listened to her entire discography. I was obsessed. As I struggled with mental illness, the razor-sharp lyricism of The Family Jewels and the upbeat nihilism of Electra Heart became my solace. But that was a long time ago.
