Pretend you’re the professor, and you need to prepare an outline for a lecture you’re giving on a particular musical group or artist. Choose one artist or group from the 1990’s and write a MLA-style outline describing that artist/group’s most important accomplishments, contributions to popular music, and the salient musical characteristics of their music. The artist you choose can be anyone that was popular in the 1990’s from Nirvana to Dr. Dre to Mariah Carey to Alanis Morrisette to Lauryn Hill, just to name a few. You might want to choose an artist that you’ve always wanted to know more about, or maybe your favorite artist came to prominence in the 1990’s and this is your chance to write a short biography of that artist. You must choose a different artist or group than what you wrote about in your research paper, and it must be an artist who came to prominence in the 1990s.
The artist profile outline MUST contain the following information:
Pertinent biographical and background information on the artist/group
The artist/group’s musical influences
The artist/group’s musical evolution
The artist/group’s career milestones
The artist/group’s most significant contribution to popular music
Musical characteristics that make the artist unique
Youtube video link to a significant song by the artist/group
When researching the assignment, you may want to start with the textbook, and then supplement with reliable information from the Internet. The assignment should be 1-2 pages in length.
