My Heroes

Well these are my heroes growing up pretty much. They are the people who influenced me to be who I am today, just well known people. I could make a list of friends and family but they already know I love them haha yeahhh sooo check it outtt...


Michael Jordan is a pretty random hero, but when I was little I had a Michael Jordan jersey and I worshiped him. I wore that jersey like I had no other clothes to wear!
















I love Janis Joplin because not only was she a female musician, but I feel like she influenced many other women to pursue their dreams in music because our world is very male dominated, especially during the time that Janis was around.













The Beatles influenced the world. I respect that. They were the ones who pretty much introduced music to rock n roll. They were in touch with so many styles of music and shared them with the world. I don't think any person or musician could ever dislike The Beatles.







I always knew that Gwen Stefani was awesome in No Doubt, but I didn't know for sure until I saw her a few weeks ago at her concert. I have a huge respect for female musicians who are in a band with all guys. Looking back on some of No Doubt's old music videos and Gwen's old style, she's pretty much the same. She still a punk at heart and she may be older but she still performs an awesome show. She shows women that they can be themselves no matter what. I thought it was cool that Gwen went solo and also took some time off to have a family. People need to settle down sometime!







Lastly, Hayley Williams, the lead singer of Paramore. I get so happy everytime I go to a Paramore show because they have never put on a bad show. Hayley always brings everything she has to offer to her performance. Hayley is a little bit younger than me and she already has a huge fan base and has already been on numerous nationwide tours. Hayley reminds me of a young Gwen Stefani, she's herself on stage and off, she doesn't change for anybody else.
