Ghost singer

A ghost singer is like an invisible person who sings but somebody else gets the credit for it. Imagine if you were singing a song, but people only heard somebody else's voice and thought that person was the one actually singing. That's what a ghost singer does - they sing the song but somebody else gets all the fame and credit for it. It's almost like a secret, because people think one thing but it's actually not true. Sometimes people use ghost singers because they aren't very good singers themselves, or they want to sound better so that more people will like their music. But it's not always fair, because the person who actually sang the song doesn't get the recognition they deserve.
