1 Having popcorns.. Getting wet in the rain Listening to my favourite artist Let us see which artists have weaved their magic on the Bloomians!! This is what SOUMYA DIXIT of VIII-C has to say about her favourite artist. Music is an art form, whose medium is sound organized in time. There are many types of music but different people have different tastes about the kind of music they like to listen. I like a band which is not so famous in India. It goes by the name of 5 seconds of Summer er. There are four members in it and they are from Australia. The main reason I love them is their songs, which are not just songs, but an expression of their feelings, their story and

2 their life. The lyrics are about nature and I can listen to the same hundred times without getting bored. This is because every song has meaning rather I would say a deep meaning which compels me to listen to them time and again. The band holds a special place in my heart and 5 seconds of Summer, is definitely different from all the other bands. In Mahin Pradosh s words My favourite musical artist is none other than Justin Bieber. He has several albums to his credit even though he is just 23 years old. He is Flippy- haired, browneyed, and short for his age. Justin doesn t look like your average superstar but rather like an average teenager. In spite of all the fame and attention, he still remains humble and kind. In his own words, Coming from a small town in Canada and being below the poverty line, to where I am now is crazy. Justin grew up in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, a town with less than 40 thousand people. His mom, Pattie, had him when she was only 18. He started posting singing videos on YouTube and was soon discovered by Scooter Braun. He signed with a record label, and began working with singers like Usher and Chris Brown. One of the reasons that Justin is a big influence on me is that, despite his fame, he s still very generous. Justin gives to charities such as, The Children s Miracle Network, The Grammy Foundation, The Red Cross, Pencils of Promise, and more. I believe that Justin Bieber is a kind and thoughtful person and when he says Dream big, you never know when those dreams might come true, it gives me and millions of other fans, hope to never give up on our dreams.

3 MY FAVOURITE ARTIST RAUNAK MEHTA- VIII-B My favourite artist is Arijit Singh. He is an Indian musician, singer, composer, and a live performer. He mainly sings in Hindi and Bengali. The songs sung by him, touch everyone s heart and are a hit with the youngsters. His journey as a singer is quite inspiring. At the age of 18, he participated in his first live show called Fame Gurukul. Unfortunately, he lost the competition and had to return to his hometown. He then signed many contracts and sang many songs but somehow success evaded him. But this was not the end. He never lost hope. He kept trying and finally was able to achieve success with his first song Phir Mohabbat. With this song, a trail of hit songs started and he finally made it big. The most important lesson to learn from him is to Never ever lose hope and failure is not the end, it s just a bend. This is what Amishee Sood ofviii C has to say about her Favourite Music Artist.

Avni Gupta of VIII-A has a lot to say about her FavouriteArtist. My favourite musical artist is Melanie Martinez. There are innumerable reasons to adore her. Apart from being beautiful and a brilliant singer, she has an undying passion for what she does. At first glance, her ideas seem cute and childish, but underneath the childish cover lies a powerful message, hidden for the ears of those who will listen. The theme of her songs is the imperfections in life and she presents them in a way that not only sends a message but also entertains her audience. She shows hardships in a way that compels everyone to listen and understand and this adds an element of emotion to her songs. Melanie is a true talent and inspiration for million of her fans. Ananya Mitra s Favourite Artist. One of my favorite artists is Ed Sheeran. He is an English singer-songwriter, and a guitarist. He was born in February 1991, in West Yorkshire, although he was raised in Suffolk. He started playing the guitar at a young age, and started singing at the age of four. I love his music because he is one of the few artists, who still has an acoustic sound to his songs, along with a modern vibe. The two go really well together, and that makes his music quite unique. He started recording music in 2004, and released 6 EPs until he released his debut single 'The A Team', which gained international recognition and topped charts for

6 weeks. Today, his name is one of the biggest in the music industry as of today, and his single, Shape of You has reached over one billion views on You tube. Besides that, I love his music because it has a lot of depth and meaning. Tons of emotions and feelings are compressed into just one of his songs, making them relatable and enjoyable. He sings about real-life situations which many other artists don t do. Sheeran s recent album, (read as Divide ) has songs which tell the story of his upbringing in Framlingham, his hometown. It s a unique way of telling his audience about his early life and childhood, and talks about many of the things he did as a child. It was extremely successful, topping charts within a few weeks of its release. Apart from, he has two other albums, + (plus), and x (multiply), which were released in 2011 and 2014 respectively. They were also huge international hits, and people started to like him for his inspirational content and eventually I became a supporter too. I listen to his music whenever I can and I always find something to suit my mood. My Favourite Artist : Taylor Swift Music is a way of expressing yourself through words and rhythm. Taylor Swift became my favourite artist way back in 2009, when I purchased her album. I instantly fell in love with the beauty in her lyrics and her skill to write and sing songs about real life experiences. She inspired me to play guitar and piano, which are now my favourite hobbies. She taught me to be myself and express myself as who I am and not try to be someone else. She is no legend, but still, among the hundreds of famous personalities, she inspires me the most. VIII-C Kirti Bhushan,

In Raman s words, I like him because of his lyrics and the background effects in his videos. His songs have a catchy tune and are always a big hit. My favourite numbers are- Sorry, What do you mean? and My World. He remains one of the biggest stars in the music industry. Mix. Gayatri Sikka s (VIII-D) Favourite Artist is.. Little We all love something or the other, be it dancing, painting or something that makes us happy, something that makes us forget our worries and tunes us out of the world. For me, that something is music. Particularly the music produced by a certain British girl- group called Little Mix. The four piece band was first formed in 2011 during the famous UK version of the singing competition called The X-Factor. They are the first and, so far, the only group to win this competition. At the beginning of the

8 competition, they started out as four strangers put together on a stage, and now, 6 years later, they are the biggest girl-group in the music industry and,most importantly, they are the best of friends. They inspire me in many ways; from their unbreakable friendship to their amazing vocal abilities, they never fail to impress me. I strive to be just as successful, kind, wonderful, and powerful as they are and hope that one day, I will be able to show them that I am proud to be their fan. Adele is Sarah Dalal s (VIII-D) Favourite Artist. The artist who really inspires me is Adele. There is something magical about her voice which is deep and strong, it leaves her fans spell-bound.

9 Asha Bhosle Gitanjali s favourite singer. I like Asha Bhosle as she is best known for her playback songs in Hindi Cinema. She has participated in many solo concerts in India as well as abroad. She is the sister of the famous playback singer Lata Mangeshkar. Asha Bhosle's work has a lot of variety, ranging from film music to pop, from ghazals to bhajans, from traditional classical music to folk songs, not to forget qawwalis. Her chirpy songs compel me to dance and they always brighten up my day. Madhav talks about his Favourite Artist.

Every time I hear a Justin Bieber song on the radio, I find myself singing along with a smile on my face. Although he is worshiped for his good looks and amazing voice, Justin has much more to offer his fans. Justin Bieber is my hero because he is a successful

13 pop star and an inspiring person. Yes, Justin Bieber may be one of the most popular pop singers at the moment, but he tries to be a normal kid, works hard, and shares his wealth with people in need. The thing that impresses me the most about Justin is that, although he is extremely famous, under all that fame there is still a real person who cares for his family and friends. Justin also respects his fans because he understands that he would not be where he is today, without them. In fact, he tweets to his fans every day so they know what he s up to. I find Justin s dedication and solid work ethic inspiring. In Risha Mathur s words.. What is music? For me it is an art that expresses one s feelings. Like me, there are many people who express their feelings through songs, instruments, imitating sounds etc. Some people just sing for the sake of singing but there are some who inspire us through their music. Taylor Swift, an American singer is my favorite music artist. She is a singer who expresses her feelings in her songs. She also writes her own songs unlike other music artists. Whenever I listen to her songs, I become a part of them. Her love, her loneliness,her worries all become a part of my life at that moment. I start visualizing the moments that relate to the song, making me both happy and sad. Her hardwork, her love for her fans,her smartness have left a deep impact on me. She inspires me to live life to the fullest. She is a vey kind, intelligent and a brave person. Following her path, I strive to be a good human being and to smile even in the darkest of times.
