New Artist - research

With our last artist we found that the music tempo was too high, this was becoming an issue as we were unable to create a fast paced action thriller as it would have become too difficult. Moving on from our previous artist (Rick Waldo) who was a good artist and his music which he produces is good but we were just unable to sync it well with our production. The new artist found by Oliver in our group called Jonny Hants was found over a social networking site called MySpace. The artist’s music was very strong and meaningful lyrics, the song that we are using called "I bleed" has lyrics in it about self harming and how his wounds have healed. I am unsure if this is his previous experiences, as we have been unable to meet up with him as he lives in Portsmouth. As a change of music, there is a change in footage and shots that we use, due to some of our footage being distorted and becoming un-useable we decided to change the idea. The idea would consist of a man (Joshua Mizrahi) a dog owner, who has lost his dog, the dog will be portrayed in a dog costume worn by Oli Resler . We used the typical stereotype of where you would see a dog such as parks, roads and general locations which we found whilst filming.

The artist's current MySpace


He has written an about me section which I will include below:
"i started rapping at about 16, never really took it seriously, ive always been into my music and there wasn’t much that i would really pay much attention to in school. After i left school i never knew what i wanted to do like most people, i did good at the subjects i enjoyed but never really took them any further after leaving school, i guess hip hop has always been a big part of my life like most people i play music every day, i got my first chance at 18 to go into a pro studio and have a little mess around but back then i had no foundation for my songs, a few bad things happened in my life , looking back it gave me something to write about, since then i have been getting better and better with my music and I’ve put up a few examples of my latest work, i don’t have anyone to make beats for me so if anyone’s out there plz holla, i also have strong writing ability every word you hear is my own"

From the above it shows that he has a general passion for music and found it as a way to focus his negative energy. He speaks about bad things happening in his life, but like most artists they use their personal experiences to create songs which have a meaning. In his writing above he proves that he has a strong writing ability and every word is his own, this shows that the lyrics from i bleed are true. On his MySpace there is a video for this music tarck created, not sure by him or someone else made it, it's a montage of images and personal pictures showing his life.
