This talk page
I have taken the liberty of moving the former contents of this page to User:DominiquesMusic/sandbox. My reason for doing that is that user talk pages are a place for communication with other users, and that can be impeded if there is a lot of other material. Your main user page at User:DominiquesMusic is intended for you to say something about yourself and your Wikipedia activities, if you choose, in order to assist communication within the project - users are allowed considerable freedom on their user pages, but they are not intended for "substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia". You can make as many "user sub-pages" as you like, by creating them with names that start with "User:DominiquesMusic/" - note the forward slash. The policy about what user pages and sub-pages are for is at WP:User pages. If what you are starting is a draft article, a good way to do that is to click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the article name: that will set you up a draft page with a link to helpful advice and a "Submit" button to send it to "Articles for creation" if you would like it checked by other users before it goes live.

Your question about uploading a photo
Image copyright is a fiendishly complicated subject - see Help:Files and WP:Uploading images.

The best place to upload images to is Wikimedia Commons, a separate organization whose images are available to all the different Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects, see commons:Commons:Upload; but Commons images must be free of any copyright restrictions. A magazine cover would almost certainly be copyright, and so not acceptable at Commons.

It is possible to use "non-free" images by uploading them to Wikipedia, but they can only be used under very strict conditions - they must satisfy all ten of the conditions at WP:NFCC, and those are strictly policed. Book and album covers are often used as non-free, but in this case, as there is in fact an image of a cover already in the Billboard (magazine) article, I think you would have difficulty arguing that a second one would "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding" as required by NFCC #8. (The existing image is OK for Commons, because it is pre-1923 and so is in the public domain).
