Azita, an old Iranian singer

Let’s start by busting the biggest myth about singing—you don’t need to be a natural talent to make music as a vocalist. In modern tracks, there’s a huge focus on the singer as the main figure of the music they create. But in reality, almost every song you hear is a collaboration between dozens of talented people working on different aspects of the production. The singer certainly leant their talent to the equation, but the final polished sound takes a lot of work behind the scenes to create.
