It’s not the typical life of a musician to stay confined in one place, but the lockdown hasn’t given them much of a choice. Artistes have had some adjusting to do.
Just like everyone else, they’ve had to put all their careers on halt and observe social distancing, but thanks to TikTok- an app that allows you make short creative videos, musicians can now keep busy while doing what they do best: entertaining their fans while having a bit of fun. Some musicians got carried away by all the fun and are now addicted to the app. Here’s a list of the top 5.
