A2 BLOG TO-DO LIST

Research into 'Demi Lovato' & 'Eminem' as my 2 in-depth case studies

Backgrounds - how they grew up relatively poor - how they were subject to issues such as: drug consumption, self-infliction, depression etc. How this played factor in shaping how they are now - Demi trying to convey meaningful music which reaches out to teenagers/young adults - primarily people who suffer/at risk of suffering similar experiences to her; similarly with Eminem. Their roles as empowering figures: neither are limited to just empowering one particular gender - which is where I find relation/relativity/inspiration.

Ironically - in one aspect - it is good they experienced said issues; if they hadn't their music styles would probably differ significantly now. They would probably have less of a following. My 2 artists are exemplification of 'persona' being integral in a record label.
