Master Shortie is a UK urban rapper who I have seen from the days of Myspace blow up to a huge mainstream artist. I found this video of him with Aleks Krotoski talking about social networking and music piracy, explaining why it's wrong to
crack down on fans for downloading music, and suggesting other ways for
musicians to make money in the digital age, such as touring and
merchandise. He is one artist that has used the social media from Myspace, Twitter, Bebo and Facebook to connect with producers, fashion houses and video directors to brand himself professionally.
