Five-Minute Artist Profile: the Prodigy
Proposal

I propose to make a five-minute artist profile for a radio program production about an English band from Essex, The Prodigy. This profile will contain three minutes of information about the band and its history given by my self and 2 minutes of their music introduced by me also.

Program Type

Artist Profile on The Prodigy

I chose The Prodigy for my artist profile, as they are one and the best of many musical groups and artists that have had a significant influence on the development of music during my adolescence.

Artist Profile Research

Having been given only five minutes on a program dedicated to the artist profile, I researched the Internet for a few tips on the band and I chose the most influential and interesting text written by a few people who placed biographies in the Internet on the history of the group, adding into from my own knowledge about them.
I also left out less important stuff as well as present day events and information about the band.

Source

Here are few web addresses that I sourced the information from while searching The Prodigy:

* http://theprodigy.info/history/ * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prodigy * http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Prodigy-Biography/5DEEC9D96447E3D5482568A3002F2F51

Writing and editing script

After having examined the Internet and recalling about the band, I began writing a script using prepared notes and a reliable English dictionary that helped me a lot while I was working on it.
I decided to focus on the beginning of the band's career, and a few major events that have affected the career of the band and their impact on the music scene and how it has developed over the years.
It wasn’t easy working on it, since English isn’t my first language. I want it to sound as if it has a pinch of original flavour and is easy to understand by a listener.

    In the book Wednesday Wars, by Gary Schmidt, Holling’s sister Heather listens to music such as the Monkees and the Beatles usually when she is just sitting in her room. Heather listens to this music because she has interest in world peace, and these two bands made very happy music. The Beatles never were much for striking music like the Rolling Stones. For example, Mick Jagger had a very striking voice and the guitar was always hard hitting. The Beatles could only play a few chords and their band was mostly about the harmonics and hollow-body guitars. So, Holling’s sister listens to the more mellow bands like most people who thrive for peace would. This essay is going to employ one of the most famous bands of the 60’s rock music…

    Within this week’s reading, finishing up with the music stardom unit, we read about the band “New Kids on the Block,” through David Marshalls input on the meaning of the Popular Music Celebrity. He explains how song writers developed the singers through sheet music and lyrics, connecting the performer to the audience. To continue, he explains how the growth of technology thus allowed the mass productions of songs, with portable music devices and radios, everyone was able to listen to their favorite music in their favorite environments. Marshall says, “Moreover, the activity of listening permitted the investment of personal experiences into the meaning of the music to a great degree than did concert performances” (198). Essentially, the portable…

    Receiving an acceptance letter from Vanderbilt University gives any student the opportunity of a college experience unlike any other. Is it the social life? Is it the Greek community? How about the Southeastern Conference sports scene? The answer to all of these questions is yes. But I failed to mention what sets Vanderbilt apart from almost any other school in the world: its location in downtown Nashville. Nashville, Tennessee isn’t called “Music City, USA” without reason. From the Grand Ole Opry to the dozens of stages on Broadway, Nashville is the epicenter of country music. Every night of the week, students have the opportunity to walk, bike, or taxi cab down to Broadway to hear some of the most talented country artists in the world. Specifically, The Don Kelley band plays on a weekly basis at Robert’s Western World and is known as one of the elite cover bands in Nashville. After attending their show earlier this year, it was apparent that their talent earned them their reputation. In this paper, I will overview the band, review their live performance, and draw connections between the band and earlier generations of music.…

    In today’s impressive music industry, standing out and making an impression on the masses is difficult. With artists like Taylor Swift successfully switching music genres and Nicki Minaj owning the rap scene, smaller artists don’t stand a chance at becoming well-known, let alone have the opportunity to make a name for themselves. Adam Young, however, has been able to successfully make a popular niche for himself as a one-man band named Owl City by quickly expanding his comfort zone outside of his house and into the ever-growing music industry, building a rapid fan base in the process. Adam Young, also known as Owl City, could easily be considered one of the best performers there currently is because of his amazing ability to create music based…
