Do you know artists first before you're fans of their music?
A new point of view was introduced to me in this forum that I never considered before. How well known is the artist in relationship to his/her songs?
I grew up in a non-musical family with commercial hit radio as my sole/soul influence. I never was a "fan" of anyone. If I liked a song I heard, I liked the song! I never became a fan who toppled over another artist, however there were a lot of outstanding songs that were inspirations.
My emphasis has been on songwriting more than being the singer. I didn't begin singing until much later in life, years after I moved away from home. This may help you understand a bit more, why I am not the typical artist. Yet, I'd like to understand how others perceive this.
What kind of stuff are you guys curious about? Are there any things in particular? I guess I am overcoming some kind of handicap here, not knowing how others get into their music.

I tend to always check on artist that put out a good song just too see if they come up with more songs I like.

As long as there is true quality in the quantity of his or her art form, the artist has a long and successful career.
At this moment, two songs are available on my home page. Samples of all songs and lyrics are available here: http://www.aleksonder.com/music.php
Feel free to explore. Indulge and enjoy!

When I hear a song I like, I do research on the artist to see if there's any other songs that the artist has created that I really like. Usually if I like one of thier songs, I'll like most of their songs, and then I just have to buy thier CD.
