Sage Elesser
Sage elsesser better known as a navy blue is an American song producer artist and is also a famous skateboarder but for this purpose ill be talking about his music.
Navy Blue has worked on numerous projects in his lifetime with his earliest project being “according to the water bearer” in 2015 but was still not an artist of recognition to come.
His biggest song with the most exposure was a collaborative song with another artist “Thebe Kgositsile” or “earl sweatshirt”, the song “the mint” was an earl sweatshirt and navy blue single in 2018 which really put him in the scene and was an artist to look out for
His latest studio album was Àdá Irin released on February 2020 and since has been an artist I can admire from his unique alternative hip hop, alt blues and unique sample style
He is an artist to look out for with his unique style and unusual monotone rhyme scheme

Mick Gordon
I discovered Mick Gordon when I finished a video game and noticed his name smack as the lead composer for the soundtrack. For the most part he’s made the soundtracks for many games, but has songs and tracks from many genres. Some game soundtracks which are most notable are Need For Speed, DOOM (reboot) and the Wolfenstein series. He’s an Australian composer who excels at setting the mood and atmosphere perfectly and really through mixing. Each song or soundtrack for a game fits what it should perfectly, and for something like DOOM is just violent metal throughout. While it’s good to listen to a specific mood to match how you’re feeling, I’ve found that I can listen to a 9 string guitar blast into my ears while doing very casual homework.
Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart, a British singer and songwriter whose music ranges from Rock to Soft Rock and began his music career in the 1960s. He still sings to this day being 75 years of age. Fans of Rod Stewart know him for his signature raspy voice. His first single, released in 1971, was “Maggie May” in which it was ranked 131 of 500 in 2004. I find his music very spread apart as his singing ranges from different pitches. I really admire his determination as he has been singing for almost 40 years of his life, and has never given up.
