Planning artist

Planning artist
Kayla Carter will be my artist on my mock up magazine. Kayla Carter known as Kayla born January 6 1990 is an UK unsigned singer and songwriter artist. Born and raised in East London, Stratford. Layla has performed in several singing competition as a child and teenager with her previous girl band group ‘Dreams’. Kayla currently is a solo artist has her own YouTube Channel called Kayla’s Music where she covers well know well known urban music- r&b and rap by famous artists like Drake and BeyoncĂ©. Along her music lifestyle Kayla Carter is studying fashion and music in Cambridge University. Kayla carter mainly focuses on rap music. I will represent my artist as a bold and confident individual. I will do this dressing my artist very chic but edgy the same time. This way sophisticated look relates with the r&b side and the edgy look relates with the rap side. She will be dressed in a long black jumpsuit. This sophisticated and edgy will emphasises female power and right in the music industry. I will do this dressing my artist in bold colours that represent authority. I will position my artist in the centre to emphasise she has power; I will also make sure her body language is very bold and confident. Kayla’s style and look will be very urban but sophisticated and elegant at the same time. Kayla’s attitude and personality will be presented as very friendly and cheerful on the front cover. This challenges the stereotype of rap music, where most artists’ personality is presented as mysterious. Where Kayla focuses on rap mainly in urban music, her being the front artist challenges the stereotype of rap music in urban which is very stereotypical- mainly men are known in the rap industry.
