Indeed!
Although I've done some more research and Tate is actually right up there at the moment - her last album went to the top 10 in several countries and the song "greedy" was briefly #1 on spotify, now #3. Pretty wild to have no idea of this, to me it was just another thing I heard.

Still many other artists around that are much, much smaller.

She is/was definitely a show biz child with multiple industries behind her I would think.

Yeah she's been a competitive dancer for years and is well-known among people in that environment.

I remember how demoralizing it was being a teenager wanting to get into music and it seeming like you had to be almost born with an instrument in your hands for it to be worth it. I know it's not quite like that ofc, and my difficulties with finding myself in music go well beyond that, and I'm assuming it's just a natural statistical overweight (aside from experience and connections and such - most people who are good at music as adults have been doing music for a long time, most people who play music regularly have been playing music for a long time...), but sometimes it feels like every prominent or otherwise accomplished musical act has some an origin story like "yeah I've been in music school since I was seven". Seeing a few exceptions would be fun!

Anyway, go queen etc.

I get you. What I love about the digital revolution is that there are so many people now coming in laterally or "late" or "underinformed" to creative music making.

For example, this young woman's music has not yet totally clicked with me, but I appreciate the attitude here and the candor in the above regard:



It's such a weird moment somehow.
On the one hand there is this extreme professionalisation in music, which extends to sound art and free improv and experimental music and rock and pop academies- so much of what we hear is the product of extremely specific academic/professional paths open to a certain type of person who takes or can take such a linear path.
And at the same time the world is blown open as far as access to tools and platforms and inspiration. And there are amazing things happening beyond the above-mentioned hyper-professionalised world.
