My Inspiration

Latino artists have inspired my music magazine; the most famous being Ricky Martin, Enrique Inglesias and Shakira. As Shakira is female and so is my model, she is my main inspiration for my model.








Shakira's wavy, carefree hair and dark eye make up have inspired me. I particuarly like the photo of her with the ring of fire. This represents heat and danger, two exciting factors which are likely to interest and engage a reader of a music magazine. Her gold and black clothing accenulate and complement her colouring. She looks exotic and interesting as she is different from alot of artists.





I have researched her music to make sure that it is definatley the kind of music I want portrayed in my music magazine.

Although she broke through to the music market with "whenever, wherever", her first really famous song was "hips don't lie", which topped charts in 55 countries. By hearing this song, I can hear the latino influence, and it is known as a "Latin Pop" song which is what I want in my artist.

It is summery and happy, both traits that I want my artist to follow.



Here is the song :

I have also looked into Shakira's less famous, all Spanish songs. Her most recent album "She Wolf" came out in conjunction with a spanish album, titled "Loba". I have researched this album and found the title track, "Loba", in Spanish. I want my artist to have previously sung songs like these, in Spanish, and now be ready to break into the UK music market.

My artist will therefore be following the same lines that Shakira did, and this will make intresting points of discussion in the interview.
