Hello, my name is Ethan and I am from the United States. I'm an avid music enjoyer and, my favorite artists are Björk, Radiohead, and Bladee. I'm also a massive fan of basketball and, more specifically, the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets won NBA championships in the 1993-1994 and 1994-1995 seasons. I also enjoy playing tennis and basketball with my friends.

I am interested in providing pages for lesser-known artists that do not currently have a Wikipedia page. Many of these artists have a mostly online following and publish music on the application SoundCloud. I find that Wikipedia is a useful space to discover music. Wikipedia also provides listeners with a background on the music and artists that they enjoy. I will also be using this page for school work.

Introduction
I looked around for artists' Wikipedia pages that I enjoyed and found Ecco2k, a Swedish artist that crosses plenty of genres together to make a unique sound. I noticed his Wikipedia page was short, so I decided to evaluate it. I visited the Ecco2k Wikipedia page and, found three aspects of it worth commenting on: important information about Ecco2k's career is left out, the article stays neutral throughout, and there is a dead link regarding an important reference.

Important Information Missing
First, important information regarding Ecco2k'’s career is left out of the article. One example is his connection to fellow Swedish rapper, Yung Lean who became an internet sensation in the early 2010s. Many people’s first exposure to Ecco2k would have been through Yung Lean, as Ecco2k was in multiple Yung Lean music videos and, he even has editing credits on multiple Yung Lean music videos. Despite this information being critical to understanding Ecco2k’s career, it seems to be completely left out of the article.

Neutral Voice
A positive aspect of the article I found, was that it stayed neutral throughout. Ecco2k’s music is very polarizing, making him a controversial figure in the music community. The article never seems to take a side when describing his music, instead opting for general information about his music like its genre and style. This is a positive as it allows someone who might be new to his music to keep a neutral opinion while listening to him.

Dead Link
Finally, I noticed a dead link in a reference to the producers that Ecco2k has worked with (reference 8). I was able to find a list of Ecco2k’s producers on his label’s website pretty easily, so this was just a case of the article not being checked in recent time. Dead links can be annoying when looking for references to certain information in an article.

Conclusion
In the Ecco2k Wikipedia page, I found that there was important information missing, it was luckily neutral, and there was a dead link. I think it is vital to do this exercise to know the validity and structure of Wikipedia articles.
