Advantages: They're great

Disadvantages: None

Working in the music business has helped me to hear all different kinds of musical talent signed or unsigned, heavy rock or cheesy pop they all have some sort of talent that is not always appreciated by bias or uneducated music fans.

1. Kane'd - They're Kane'd you're about to be! I must say I'm a little biased as this is one of my friend's bands. However they deserve all the praise they can get as they are hardworking down to earth band who never fail to impress. They are a Welsh rock band that is influenced by metal bands such as Def Leopard. Unlike most other rock bands there are three lead singers all of which are female. They are currently touring Europe with 80s rock band House of Lords.

2. Joss Stone - "I think piracy is great" says Joss Stone, a pure example of an artist that doesn't believe that music is all about the money but the heart and soul that is put into making it. I respect this artist not just for her musical talent but also for being the great role model that she is. Joss Stone first started her music career at the age of fourteen when she appeared on the BBC show 'Star for a Night'. At age sixteen Joss released her debut single. She then went on to sell over 10 million albums worldwide. Joss actively takes part in helping charities, she has performed at several charity shows and even taken part in manual labour for a charity during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. She has recently release her newest album 'Colour Me Free' in the US, she is also due to release in the UK on the 2nd November.

3. Tenny Ten (aka 10Shott) - Brap Brap gangster rappers? Nah! Let's tell it how it is. Tenny Ten is a UK based rapper from Wolverhampton. I first came across this artist during the show of a band I was working with at the time. His live performance blew me away he always puts 100% into the songs he writes and the music he produces. He was influenced by his parents who are also musicians and started writing and performing at the age of 10. 10Shott's songs are inspired by real issues, the song 'Tin Soldiers' which he wrote about at the war in Iraq from a soldier's point of view, was supported by M.P George Galloway and used as a anti-war track to promote his anti-war campaign. Tenny Ten has recently released new track 'Designer Girl' available for free download online.

4. Girls Aloud - Every girl likes them right? Not really, most of my friends hate them but I like them anyway their music is really catchy and their vocals go really well together. I first came across these girls on the television show Popstars: The Rivals. It was of a similar style to The X Factor, it was a reality TV show where each week the singers would battle it out to make it into the final. Ironically one of the singers (Cheryl Cole) is now a judge on The X Factor.

5. Mcfly - They have the looks, they have the talent what more could you possibly need? I fell in love with Mcfly (not in a weird stalkerish way) when I first saw the video to their debut single '5 Colours in her hair', at the time they were every teen girl's dream. As their music career progressed their style slowly began to adapt to keep up with newer artist styles. Mcfly have recently announced that their single 'Star Girl' will be played in space on the international space station currently orbiting the earth

6. Amy Studt - Not JUST a little girl, a good musical talent. It wasn't until Amy released her second single 'Misfit' that I began to pay attention to her music, as I wasn't fitting in too well myself at the time I found it to be a song I could easily relate to. After this she released her debut album 'False Smiles' which also contained some really meaningful songs I particularly like 'Ladder in your tights'. Amy recently made a comeback with single 'Nice Boys' but is struggling to gain the recognition that she deserves.

7. Busted - Every girl must have loved this band at some point and hated Charlie Simpson for tearing it apart, Rock band Busted first released the song 'What I go to school for' the video to this showed the boys in a school setting lusting after a female teacher then at the end them driving off into the distance with the teacher with hundreds of girls chasing after them crying (I can't say I blame them). The end of the band's career was when one of the singers (Charlie Simpson) decided to leave the band causing them to split. Each member has gone on to do their own musical projects but with not quite the same success as when they were a band.

8. Katy Perry - So I'm sat looking for MySpace layers and come across the video for the song 'I kissed a girl', I showed it to a few friends as it made me laugh then thought nothing more of it. Little did I know, a few weeks later it would be at number 1 in the charts. Katy's debut album 'One of the Boys' is one of my favourite albums in my collection. I can particularly relate to 'If you can afford me' as it pretty much sums up my view on guys and dating.

9. Rihanna - It took me ages to get into Rihanna's music, at first I didn't like it at all but by the time she released Unfaithful I started to appreciated her music a little more. In my opinion her best song is 'Cry' and worse one which really annoys me is 'Umbrella'.

10. Cascada - Cascada is another band it took me a while to get into 'Everytime we touch' I found to be annoying but later when discovering Truly Madly Deeply again began to appreciate the music. Evacuate the Dancefloor - Cascada's newest single is a song I play again and again. It has become a huge hit in the clubs, I hear it frequently played when on nights out.
