Why is this person important?

Laura Pausini is an Italian singer, producer, and songwriter. Laura is important because she has won several music awards such as a Latin Grammy Award, and a Billboard Music Award. She was the first Italian female to win a Grammy back in 2006. She was also the first non Spanish person to sell over a million records in Spain. It is very hard to be a female in the music industry in general, and the fact that she has won so many awards is outstanding.

Why did you choose this person? How does her/his life relate to you?

I chose Laura Pausini because she is music artist and I can relate to her because I have an immense passion for music. I play guitar and I love to write music. She's a song writer and a producer which is what I want to do when I'm older. I want to be a producer in the music industry. I feel like I can relate to her. She shows me that women can strive in the music industry too.

If she/he had never existed, would the world be different from how we know it now? Why?
If she never existed I don't think the world would be different from how we know it now. Yes she contributed to the music world, but I don't think she impacted the world in a major way. I think the world would be the same if she never existed, but if she was Michelangelo it would be a different story.

If you could meet that person, what would you ask her/him?
If I could meet Laura Pausini I would like to ask her how does it feel to be a female in the music industry? What is your songwriting process? Is it hard to main a personal life because of your career? What music artists do you look up to? Why do you love music?

  Do you think the fact this person was Italian played a role in his/her achievement?
I don't believe her nationality played a role in her achievement. If she was a different nationality I think she would still be successful. Her determination and hard work is what led her to the road to success.
