Hi, I like to study bios, and understand how does such things work in a marketing / social environment.
I suggest we share artists that we like (or dislike) and write a short bio about them.
(By the way, if you are interested in this topic, I suggest Seth Godin's books "Tribes" & "Purple Cow").

"OMFG" Alex Savage :
This band is the reason why I started this post.
I've found interesting her "girly" personality, which seemed to have played an important role for the popularity of the band. Few months ago her brother stepped our of the shadow and revealed that he was the actual producer, while she was the face of the band (it's not unlike Gorillaz with fictional characters).

Ronald Jenkees :
I like this artist for the infinite solos and uninhibited creativity.

There are some cool Ronald Jenkees's covers on yatubes.

Aleksander Vinter "Savant" :
From Norway to LA, hyper-productive guy, originally from a metal band background, he wanted to be an hip-hop producer, then finally reached his audience by doing a lot of geek-culture mixtures, and now tend to the 80' pop.
He is always morphing and doing new stuff (and occasionally creates his own animated clips).

(note, few months in Aleksander's career represent years in the average of a human life time).

Well, that's it, if I have other comments or ideas I'll update this post.
