Feature Article Draft How difficult is it for a bisexual artist? In the case of Andres ‘El Jefe’, whose sales are on the increase since the release of his first album named //Llego el Jefe//. He spoke to us about his very controversial ‘coming out of the closet’ when admitting to the world that he wasn’t “your typical reggeaton artist “and feared what his fans would think of him and perhaps judge him based on this truth. “Many people judge people, especially on sexual preference,” stated the young star. However it seems as though this ‘truth’ has driven him towards success as he has gained more than double the recognition Daddy Yankee got after his number 1 hit song Gasolina which was heard all over the world. Having said this it is obvious where this artist will end and the amount of records he’ll smash throughout his music career. Despite his bisexual preference, his fans claim to support him endlessly no matter what. His sudden rise to fame has got him record sales in record time and he believes that it’s time to hit the worldwide stage and go on a tour which will see him visit most of Europe and Asia, he will in total be performing an astonishing 17 times during the month of March. “I am going through a lot of physical training and difficult diets so that I don’t get fatigued,” said the 22 year old. Tickets for his appearances in Spain, France, Norway, Belgium, Germany and England are already sold out. Due to high demand for concerts, ‘El Jefe’ will be taking a month off after finishing the European and Asian tour. After this he will be aiming for even more glory with a tour of South and Central America for his Hispanic public. Overall this has been a very unique and amazing rise to fame Andres ‘El Jefe’ and he is very greatful to all his fans for showing him this amazing support by buying his album and his concert tickets and most importantly for not judging him by his sexuality but more by his music and the type of person he is.

 * Do you think the masthead links with the genre?**
 * Have you ever heard of Reggaeton?**
 * What age group do you associate with this genre?**
 * Is my feature article idea engaging?**
 * Would you read it?**
 * From my front cover ideas, would you consider buying the magazine?**
 * Judging by the front cover, would you be poised to explore this genre?**

From these questions, I have gathered that more people will be interested in reading my article than not reading. Also that once this magazine goes into the market, it will lure peoples’ attention and could become a big magazine. With this magazine, a number of artists could get more fame here in the UK. This magazine would hugely promote them and lead them to more profits. Judging from my results, I can see that readers are keen to explore something new, this magazine would fill a niche in the music magazine market.

What age group do you associate with this genre?



As you can see from this bar graph, most of my feedback was positive and encouraging for my magazine and also approved of all my ideas.
