Molly Jenson was influenced by the 80’s folk/indie genre that’s why she is now considered as one of the gifted singer to-date. By the time her popularity is making a buzz in the music scene, Greg Laswell, a distinguished songwriter and producer come up to her and decided to team up with Jenson to make her music more fitting for the audiences. Ever since Jenson began her career performing in numerous music events during the span of 2000-2001, she sooner or later became widely known to the youth, which led her to walk off with the 2007 San Diego Award for the best acoustic act. In the concluding year, Jenson was chosen in the same awarding ceremonies as one of the “best pop” artist. William Adams is a prime exemplar of an artist with an unruly compassion to wobble the status quo in the course of his tune; he is also recognized as Black Eyed Peas’ front man Will.I.Am. This Grammy and Emmy award-winning singer painted a landscape for transformation-driven songs and artists to have a place in the industry. He has not only sold a million records, but also helped raise awareness about relevant issues regarding politics, poverty, and inequality. Will uses his music as an instrument to rally support for highly important charitable causes in the world. The song spoke not only to the American populace, but to people all over the world. It was so powerful that when the time came for Will.i.am to produce a video for the song, a bevy of the most famous actors, singers and Hollywood personalities agreed to take part in the project like Scarlette Johansson, Kate Walsh, Adam Rodriguez, Kelly Hu, and Nicole Scherzinger. Jesse Dylan directed the said song’s video, which revolved around concept of shaking people’s indifference and convincing them to take part in changing the course of the country. |
