When Twitter introduced Vine on Jan. 24, it quickly encouraged musicians to get creative: "Artists, Vine is out now! ... Show us your world ... in video," tweeted @TwitterMusic.
Celebrities, rising artists and music brands responded, giving fans a visual and auditory glimpse into their lives with intimate 6-second, GIF-like videos.
