Being alone on stage takes courage

Agnes Sorensen, Staff Writer

I cannot imagine being a singer because I cannot sing. But having the courage to do a live performance and doing what you love is pretty cool.

I prefer performances by solo artists because there is more focus only on the artist on the stage. There is a lot going on on the stage when a band performs. There might even be more than one singer. 

Solo artists are usually excellent performers because they have lots of experience of making an entertainment show just on their own.

When there are multiple singers it is still a great performance but just a totally different experience.

Solo artists are usually excellent performers because they have lots of experience of making an entertainment show just on their own. 

A solo artist often has a recognizable voice and it is especially cool when a live performance is done with almost no recorded singing playing when they are singing. It takes a lot for an artist to perform like this, which is why I respect the energy and creativity. 

They have a cool way of expressing themselves through their music and tell their own stories. They are independent but also have a crew to help them with all their success. 

All of today’s technology can enhance a show. A live performance often has graphics in the background and maybe even fireworks, rain, or fire going on, which makes a show entertaining. 

I believe that passion is what thrives a solo artist to either start their career or what keeps them going while doing what they love. You can truly feel their passion when they perform through their music or even their love for their fans. 

Also, a solo artist often has a crew to help but they still have a very creative style. They can show their fans who they are through their style and their clothes. They can style themselves how they want to without other people in a band to disagree.

When talking about music I would like to point out artists who sing in their second or even third language. When practicing you obviously get better at speaking another language so still singing is not easy in the beginning. Many Danish artists sing in English, which is very normal to reach more people.

Being a solo artist  takes a lot of courage and bravery to perform alone and make it entertaining.
