Favorite (Musical) Artists from YOUR country!

[I Hypnotoad I]

I made this thread so people could share their taste in music, and their nationality. Also why they're proud to be from the country they live in (One of those reasons, your favorite musician)
Fun little game (If you would call it that)

~ Post your favorite Band / Artist, and a small writeup about them.
but wait. there is a catch.

- If it's a band you choose, there must at least be 1 member of the opposite sex in it.
- Artist / Band must has originated in your country. Living there currently counts too I guess.
- (HARDMODE: If it's an Artist you choose, it must be of the opposite sex. (We like pics))
- Post in this format. This is my example.

Call me a fgt for being into this kind of music, but I do think my post should be dedicated to the musical talent of LIGHTS. Who is LIGHTS you might ask?

- LIGHTS is a Canadian Electronic artist.
- She is 23, and was born in Timmins. Ontario
- Her music is a mix of Acoustic / Electronic / Electropop.
- She is a gamer (She plays WoW, If you don't believe me, check her youtube channel)
[spoiler] [/spoiler]
- She is (No shit) Hot as hell.
- The voice in her music is mostly natural, if you think it sounds autotuned, check out her Acoustic Ustream videos (Also on her channel)
- She has a tattoo of Twinblade of the Phoenix on her left arm.


Your guys' turn if you're up for it.

Alright fgt, let's do this xD

I like rap a lot so that would be the first thing I'd go for, too bad I only know male rappers from my country so I have to go for someone else. Esmee Denters would be an option but I don't really like her music that much. That leaves me with only a couple more artists that I really don't like either... Man this ain't easy, I'm not going to do an artist from the opposite sex, there's not really a way for me to do that.

I'd go for Pete Philly & Perquisite, a rapper and a chello player, both from The Netherlands.



I like their music and I had the amazing oppurtunity to film their last performace together.

But if you feel like a challenge, continue with the opposite sex rule :P

Hmm...
My favourite Band is Rammstein.
There's just the Problem there's no Woman/Girl in the Band.

Rammstein is German Band founded from Several Germans (West-Germans and DDR-Citizens aswell).
Their name Originated from the Flightshow Accident in the US Airfoce Base Ramstein in Germany where 70 people died.
Lead Singer is Till Lindemann. Their Music is a mix of Industrial, Rock, Alternative and some electronic music elements.

They are the best Band I know so far and their Music is listened to worldwide!
