What type of singer or someone related to music would be a good person to write two page biography about?
We’re doing this project: magazines, and we’re supposedly writing articles.
We have to write a solid two page biography about someone related to the subject we’re doing, and write an article about just something about the subject.
My group was considering “Shakira,” as my group is filled with Spanish people. However, I’m reluctant. But they said they’re willing to do anything. So I’m trying to think of some people…
And what could I write an article about? Top 100 songs? Worst singers?
Oh- and I’m not saying it’s a totally idea, but I was also thinking about new people- like the people who sing now..
I would definitely go with Shakira. She is a very interesting person. And she is current, by the way; she has several hits on the radio right now.
Shakira is AMAZING.
Fun facts about Shakira:
She is way more than a hip-shaker. She has written and recorded over 80 terrific songs in several genres.
On tour, she doesn’t use backup dancers – she entertains ALL BY HERSELF (and her awesome band.) That’s really rare nowadays.
She wrote her first song at age 8, and signed her first recording contract when she was 13 (with Sony, who has maintained her contract up to present day.)
Shakira personally founded the Pies Descalzos foundation, which builds needed schools in Colombia. http://fundacionpiesdescalzos.com/
She writes or co-writes all of her own material.
She maintains an incredible amount of creative control over her music – from writing to post-production, and even co-directing her own videos.
Her IQ is 140.
She speaks 5 languages.
“Fijacion Oral” was the biggest Spanish language album debut in history.
“La Tortura” was the first ever Spanish-language music video to enter regular rotation on MTV
She is the first ever artist to have the #1 Top 40 Mainstream song and #1 Latin song in the same week (La Tortura)
She is currently in the Guinness Book of World Records for most weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart for “La Tortura”
Shakira is the most searched artist in the world according to yahoo.com, 2006
“Hips Don’t Lie” is the most played pop song in radio history.
Shakira is the only artist ever to debut in the top 5 albums in English and Spanish in the same calendar year.
The “Oral Fixation Tour” is one of the best-selling concerts of the year. It has sold out at almost every location worldwide.
Shakira’s Oral Fixation national concert tour was the “most requested event” during the third quarter of 2006 according to Ticketmaster.
December 6 was declared Shakira Day in Miami. Shakira was honored for making history and becoming the first artist to perform in Miami American Airlines Arena for 5 times during one tour.
Shakira is the highest selling Colombian artist of all time and the only artist from that country to have had a #1 single in the USA.
Check out her official message board http://forums1.epicrecords.com/Artists/Shakira/ – it’s really something how much her fans love her. It’s really rare for an artist to have that kind of loyalty these days.
