Influential Figures

My main influential figures involved in the song/film industry include Drake (rapper), Justin Bieber (singer), Jesse Eisenberg (actor), Will Smith (actor), Cara Delevingne (actor/model), Wiz Khalifa (rapper), Eminem (rapper), and many others. Examples of magazine publishers, producers and institutions that I would consider myself influenced by would include, Bauer (media group/institution), XXL (magazine publisher), Vibe (magazine publisher), Quincy Jones (producer) and Empire (magazine publisher).

This YouTube video of Justin Bieber included him being interviewed and talks about how he loves what he does and makes the best effort to make his fans happy, also including that he is not perfect, and admits he has bad days like everyone does. This shows to me that he is being honest with everyone and can be seen as an influential figure by saying these things.

This magazine cover is an example of how Eminem is portrayed in the media and what genre music and type of target audience he is involved with. The different conventions included in the magazine display a typical stereotype representation of a Hip-hop/rap/R&B magazine. Also, because he is a famous rapper and is known by many, he would be considered an influential figure by many.
