Favorite Female Singer: Taylor Swift: Pop country superstar Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania. It was Swift’s second album, Fearless, that launched her into super stardom and made her a phenomenon. Over half a million copies of Fearless sold in its first week. The album was the top-selling album of 2009 and has sold 10 million copies worldwide. Tickets for the Fearless tour were hard to get. The shows sold out in minutes, another sign of Taylor Swift’s growing popularity and fame.




Favorite Male Singer: Ed Sheeran: Ed Sheeran was born on February 17, 1991, in Halifax, West Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom. When he was young, he began playing guitar, showing early promise as a musical talent. When he was 11, Sheeran met singer-songwriter Damien Rice backstage at one of Rice’s shows, and the young musician found added inspiration. As the story goes, Rice told Sheeran to write his own music, and Sheeran set out the next day to do just that. It wasn’t long before Sheeran was recording CDs and selling them, and he soon put together his first official EP, The Orange Room. With that accomplishment and his abiding ambition driving him, at only 14 years of age, Sheeran headed to London for the summer. Thinking he could find gigs in the big city, Sheeran left home with his guitar and a backpack full of clothes, and his musical career took flight.


Favorite Band: Owl City: Owl City is the musical brainchild of Adam Young, who launched the project in 2007 while living at his parents' home in Owatonna, Minnesota. Troubled by insomnia, Young began spending his evenings in the household basement, where a computer and several instruments provided a diversion from his sleeping patterns. He eventually combined those diversions into a blend of electronica and emo-pop, using little more than his computer and various keyboards to record the material. Songs were uploaded to MySpace upon completion, and Young began attracting a surprising amount of attention on the networking site.

  4. It seems you have great taste in both music and books.I have a great interest in reading some of the books you mentioned above.I would like you to browse some of the novels written by Paulo Coelho who is a Brazilian lyricist and novelist.He is the recipient of numerous international awards.He is best known for his widely translated novel The Alchemist.Some of his famous quotes:
    When you want something,all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
    Be brave.Take risks.Nothing can substitute experience.
