Start of A2

We have now started A2. Can't believe I'm now in the second year of Hurtwood. It has gone so quickly. We have been introduced to the music industry as this is going to be the aim of this year. I have a lot more interest in music because I listen to it everyday and can still listen to the same songs without getting bored. I try and keep up with all the latest music and I'm trying to get tickets to go to either Reading or V festival this summer. I listen to the radio which plays the type of music which I enjoy, but on stations like Capital and Kiss 100 they repeat the songs which they play which annoys me. 

We have looked at two theorist. One named Keith Negus who believes that there are two distinct ways of thinking about potential artists from within the music industry. The other theorist was called Richard Dyer who thinks that there is different types of artist's such as organic and synthetic. 

My favourite organic artist would most likely be someone like Ed Sheeran and my favourite synthetic would be The wanted. 

I met The Wanted in 2012 because I really like their music and I enjoy going to their concerts. They were such nice people and made me realise that even when they are on stage they are basically the same. There not those types of artists who think they are took good to talk to their fans because they are famous. 

I love their music videos which I tend to watch on either the music channels, on sky or on the Internet. I get emails sent to me from 'The Wanted' which tells me all their latest songs and videos and tells me what they are doing. Its more of a fan based thing.
