equipment recommendation - What is a good cheap camera for new photographer who wants to take pictures of people at gigs, shows etc. Also street art, views?

I'm 18 years old and want to start taking pictures of my day-to-day life. I am aspiring to become a photographer for people and events, etc. I am keen to buy my first camera which is cheap, easy to understand and that can produce great quality and crisp images. Since I'm new to this I'm not quite sure what to look for. Any ideas?
