New Media is always fostering creativity. This creativity is being used in the music world by regular people who create "mashups". A mashup is a combination of two songs, the vocal of one song and the beat from another.
In 2003, A man by the name of Jeremy Brown created a mashup of a Jay-Z song and a Beck song. These two songs are nothing alike, not even the same genre but New media has allowed us to create this new type of music. This mashup was so creative and catchy that it was commercially available for download on itunes.
Jay-Z made an official mashup using new media with Linkin Park. This was a collaborative album, a mixture of rock and rap. Each artist used their own old individual tracks and out them together.
As you can see, New Media is always fostering creativity.
