[SOLVED] Why wont my while loop end?

#!/bin/bash
cd Music
read -p "Enter the genre: " genre
mkdir $genre
read -p "Enter the first artist: " artist
while [ $artist != "end" ]
do # start of loop
mkdir $genre/$artist
sudo mkdir $genre/$artist/Albums
sudo mkdir $genre/$artist/Songs
read -p "Enter the next artist or end to quit: " genre
done #end of loop

tree $genre
