21 Most Influential Musical Artists of The 21st Century

3. Bjork

After years of singing for multiple punk bands, Bjork developed a solo voice that stood out in a sea of identical ’90s pop stars. Before her first hit single dropped in 1995, Bjork had already written lyrics for Madonna, co-recorded two albums with  Nellee Hooper and helped produce David Arnold’s hit ‘Play Dead’.

Most pop stars of the 2000s, including Katy Perry, P!nk and Sia, project her music. Also, one look at Bjork’s 2011 album cover will tell you what inspired Lady Gaga’s “loud” wardrobe.

2. Dr. Dre

No one played a bigger role in the rise of gangster rap then Dr. Dre. In addition to pioneering the G-funk style of hip hop, he helped produce countless game-changing records. That influence may be fading now, but the first decade of the 21st century was defined by artists who he “made.” Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent are just some of the rap legends who attribute their success to working with Dre.
