unity and one that rages against war. i lament the canadian rubber stopper, i am adam eve. thank. he switched his guitar for a camera and while he made his name with celebrity portraits his later subject southwind, it war, veterans, scars, disfigurement and prosthetic limbs. with war raging in ukraine, brian adams, photos of maimed former soldiers resonate more than ever. what prompted him to take these pictures? there were many people coming back from iraq and afghanistan that were in pieces lost their arms or legs, and you started to see them on the high street. it started with one pitcher, and then i met somebody else who met somebody else and that somebody else started

formulate, what was the beginning for his photo series? wounded brian adams spent years meeting with british war veterans. he invited them and their families to his studio, since they're all casualties of war. he portrays them in a respectful, not voyeuristic light. i have this theory about pictures and that when you're working with somebody, you have one. there is only one minute. in the, the session that is magic the rest of us just pictures. because if you get one good picture out of a day than you've done well, oh, bryan adam rose to fame in the 1980s through his music. but now he's a respected photographer to tammy winehouse got down on her knees for him

an icon of the 1980s to a promising young newcomer, singer songwriter as though eve. these is music as a rule, heartfelt and authentic whose. 6 0 news. i don't want to lose control things though ease it's intense, bordering on painful this deeply personal song was what launched zoey's international korea. it's been streamed hundreds of millions of times. she writes her lyrics herself, her language is music. and if she has something to say, she prefers to sing it. oh, hold on a shower. i'm not one for talking. i hate talking learning. i hate speaking. and if i have to, then i'm going to sing. so music takes over when i don't want to talk anymore with rector. ah,

it's time for the sound check in dresden as though he kicks off her 1st european tour. a few years ago when she was still at school in hamburg, this would have been unimaginable do. oh, i in 2018. so he performed at a school concert. a music teacher was impressed by her talent and encouraged her. she soon began to make a name for herself on tick tock this to get her breakthrough song was control a heartfelt song about processing trauma. her long term struggle with benign maryland dick epilepsy control in chapters are ashamed. i wrote the song back then because i have a sickness, but i always had support my teacher and that's not a given. so i thanked her in this song cuz she was always there for me and my family, one from my class would always have

a 2nd room. i could go to if i had an accident on 2 seconds later, i would turn around and she'd be right behind me, live out and her meal. oh, the song, one gold and platinum awards in 10 countries. in 2020 one's though he performed at the american music awards. a remarkable achievement for the 19 year old. her song daddy's eyes explores her difficult childhood. she grew up with her mother and only got to know her father when she was 16. she sings about hating, but she looks like him a, a, a star who doesn't conform to traditional stereotypes. valley title calls, i write a song exactly the same way as i talk to my therapist. perfect. so this really is like therapy for me,

cause upon it's something i've always done. i topya's heard it and how i come to terms with the things that have happened to me. come after dinner, claudia, to waterbury, shall i accept on with my music is ha, ha silly. these voices, her generations concerns through lyrics that deal with self doubt. the song girls like us explores distorted beauty standards and the search for acceptance. ah, lou darzy you is soon back to me. capitals, english. i wrote the song when i wasn't feeling so good and i didn't like myself. i looked in the mirror and thought, i don't like what i say. so or so that's what i wrote the song about chalabi. so i tried and learned to accept myself with this song here because i have to be in my

body for the rest of my life as it doesn't achieve the thing, not liking it. so i have to start trying to love it, as well as the unsung in to live. she wants to get involved using her music and has performed fridays for future. and as a recent piece concert at her old school, singer and song and everything. this is a song i wrote a few days ago for people who have lost loved ones. for people who are fighting right now. realizing america world is, are shut down. you don't know how she could learn true alice walker develop the profile. it's obvious that if there's something going wrong in the world that we can change, we need to get involved as of this microsoft cloud. as when i'm at work, it happens. every artist knows that if you have an audience, a community that you should use it responsibly. that's when the record a, zoe,
