R + P Post 16: My band or artist

Our artist is a boy and girl duo made up of Mira (female 21) and Jack (male 23). Together the artist's name is MiraJax. We took inspiration from the artist name AlunaGeorge and how they combined a boys and girls first name to create the group name.

Mira
We took inspiration from Rihanna when coming up with the idea for our female artist. We want her to have Rihanna's care-free attitude and individual style.
Below is a collage to represent the style and image we had in mind for the female half of our duo:

Jack
We took inspiration from the artist ASAP Rocky when coming up with our male artist. We want our artist to have his laid-back attitude and trendy style. Below is a collage to represent the style and image of the male half of our duo:

Richard Dyer's Star Theory suggests that stars are constructed artificial images that represent cultural values and attitudes that audiences are interested in. This helped us when deciding on our artist's persona and background. We decided our artists had been brought up in North London and had both led hard lives which shapes how they are today and what their music is about. This makes them good role models for their target audience.
