Indiana
The musical composition in Indiana began when German and Irish immigrants arrived in the 1830's. Back in the 1920's, jazz was a popular genre. However, the genre that Indiana natives are really fascinated with is Indianapolis hip-hop soul because the artists that are labeled in this genre respect the musical styles from New York and Chicago. Several skillful artists and producers were born in Indiana, including Michael & Janet Jackson, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, gospel singer Sandi Patty, and Lonni Mack. The Impact of artists like MJ, Janet and Babyface are significant to the American music culture.
