10 Pop Artists You've Never Heard Of

Lady Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28 1986), is an American songwriter, singer, actress, philanthropist, dancer and fashion designer. One curious side-effect of both ‘International Pop' and ‘The World Goes Pop' was the way in which the institutions absented themselves from the conversation - that is, absented themselves from the idea that museums have been and are a part of popular culture.
In that arena, few stars can vie with the recent popularity of Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, a 25-year-old Puerto Rican singer and rapper who surprise-released his second album YHLQMDLG (or Yo Hago Lo Que Me Da La Gana, translation from Spanish: I do what I want) last weekend, announcing the album was coming just days before on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.



His Wildstar debut 'Fill Me In' made Craig David the youngest male solo artist ever to achieve a number one single, and his subsequent hits, '7 Days' International Pop and 'Walking Away', boosted sales of Craig David's debut album 'Born To Do It' to over 7 million copies including 1.8 million sales in North America.

Angus Wynne III, then a brash 20-something music promoter from Dallas, made the 1969 Texas festival happen against all year, with much better odds and more planning, Wynne is partnering with the City of Lewisville to produce the 50thAnniversary Texas International Pop Festival with many of the same acts that appeared at the original fest.
Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg , Roy Lichtenstein , and Claes Oldenburg , and on the other side of the Atlantic Richard Hamilton and Peter Blake , along with David Hockney , who divided his time between London and Los Angeles, is what the Pop Art map drawn in the 1960s still looks like today.

It was the museum that also made the world go pop too and, like it or not, today they are as much part of pop culture as Justin Bieber or True Detective - perhaps, in the broader role they play in civic and economic life today, more so than shows like these will admit.
Held at the very same place where the legendary festival transpired, the 2017 celebration features performances by Jack Johnson, Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band, Leon Bridges, Norah Jones, The Head and The Heart, Father John Misty, Regina Spektor, Gary Clark Jr., Jim James and many more.
