It's time for a shake up... ...Hello there fellow music lovers. Recently, a lot of music video's have been popping up on this site of what I would consider to be talantless celebraties, that really have no right to be called 'Artist'. If all that we are consuming is heartless fodder, then Will we not know what Music really is? and what Artistic value it holds?
Definition of a Artist: A person who is able by virtue of imagination and talent or skill to create works of aesthetic value..Or A person whose work shows exceptional creative ability or skill: You are an artist in the kitchen.
That said, I would like to share over the next coming weeks, or months a collection of 'Artist' who I respect greatly. I hope you enjoy. Keenmeister |

John ButlerJohn Butler (born 1 April 1975) is an Australian musician. He is the frontman of the John Butler Trio. At sixteen, he started to learn the guitar and his grandmother gave him his grandfather's 1930s dobro guitar. In 1996, Butler attended Curtin University in Perth studying to be an art teacher. He was introduced to open tunings when he went to his first Jeff Lang concert. This allowed him to appreciate and play Celtic and Indian music as composed for traditional guitar. He started busking on the streets of Fremantle where his home grown compositions received a strong response. In mid 1996, he released a self-recorded cassette of his own instrumental compositions called Searching for Heritage which eventually sold 3,000 copies in Fremantle. At the age of 21, he had dropped out of Curtin University to pursue a musical career.
