I would love to perform around the world one day or to work with a touring performer helping with setting up or planning but if I couldn't tour I'd like to write lyrics or create outfits for singers.

I'd like to build confidence singing and being on stage so it comes naturally to me and eventually learn instruments and producing to get a better understanding of the industry and make future work easier

I think i could get these with college work and at home practice

By myself or with friends i would like to find the right group to start working together outside of college and maybe performing localy.

Evan Blair.

Evan blair has worked with many popular artists like

-benson boone

-nessa barrett

-dove cameron

-artemas

He has a podcast where he has spoken about making ‘boyfriend’ with dove cameron and he speaks about making a connection with artists and his technique is to get an artist to create 2 playlists 1 for the songs they are inspired by and wish they had made and the other one for songs they just like. He prefers to write multiple song ideas at once to spread out an idea he has instead of limiting himself and his ideas. Evan sticks to slightly less expensive instruments and equipment to make things work as he doesn't feel you need to buy into the most expensive things.

He writes for his artist or support with writing  evan also writes, produces and releases his own songs like back to you, oceans, bad for me.

Evan Blair is seen as a very down to earth producer who can work professionally but is mostly a friend to artists

Performance analysis

Never felt so alone labrinth Coachella 2023

Labrinth - Never Felt So Alone (With Billie Eilish) - Live From Coachella 2023

The blue background lighting gives the whole low melancholy vibe of the song

Labrinth's robotic slow movements show his control and how he feels it.

Billie shows her excitement of a huge show and crowd.

The backup singers that have the higher, more angelic voices are higher. I think this symbolises the angelicness of  how they sing and show themselves.

New magic wand Tyler the creator 2020 grammys

Tyler, The Creator - EARFQUAKE / NEW MAGIC WAND (Live at the 2020 GRAMMYs)

Tyler has bright flashing multi coloured lights showing how messy the song is.

He has said it's his favourite song to perform because of the energy he has with the song.

He projects his voice also almost shouting at some points but i think this is because of the excitement of the show.

There is a huge set behind him with many backup dancers to go with his choreography.

He has a very strong stage presence.

American jesus- nessa barrett

I think the lyrics are very important as she puts in her religion but also puts her own vibe into the song with themes of smoking, red wine, and connection to someone. I think this song is raw passion of love, this is an opinion of mine and i think at her young age it was a very confident and big step for her to show how serious she is for the music industry

The song isn't her average style as it is a lot more intimate and slower song some parts show more acoustic versions of her voice her singing is a lot more of a controlled lower projection rather than focusing on volume

The beat is on a mid-tempo groove

It includes percussion that is a steady kick and hi-hats

The song focuses on bass  and synth bass and is very constant

The guitar is mostly an acoustic strum that is very clean

The instruments and backing tracks and synths progress over the song as more and more layers are added making the song have a heavier feel overtime.

Cinnamon girl- lana del rey

The song  is a very slow and intimate song where she speaks about fear of rejection and struggle for love. The song gives a show to say something has happened to Lana over time and that's why she has these emotions.

The song was released in 2019 as a part of her ‘ norman fucking rockwell’ album. The album is known to be one of her best and most popular, mostly produced with Jack Antonoff. The album as a whole is a had many many emotions from one song to another.

The song includes piano that progresses throughout the song but still very minimal.

Lana harmonises with herself by layering her singing in parts of the song her voice is very vulnerable and fragile

The song also includes synths

The beat is slow and sparse giving the song a ghostly feel

All percussion is muffled so the song highly focuses on piano

we peformed both songs and went well we has help from guy as roddy wasn't here AGAIN

spoke about separating the joined lyrics and decide it would work better separating them

# data[].attributes.body
we practiced glory box and decided that would be our final performance. we added the end of the song in worked out timings and who would do each section

# data[].attributes.body
we started with glory box as I think its something you can learn quick and it has the right amount of verses for all 3 of us to sing. I wanted to find something that would fit all of our instruments and include everyone and their music tastes as much as we could and I think we worked well together because everyone was happy with the song we picked. we were open to trying different parts of the song and when practicing we would start at the parts that needed the most work instead of wasting time. we also tried out another song to see what worked best but decided glory box worked better than karma police so we dropped it to focus on glory box to prioritise it. we had another band member who we didn't work well with so we spoke about him moving because I feel like he didn't care enough by not practicing at home at all or paying attention when we were in the booths and I think was better for everyone and we got over the disagreement quickly so it didn't take time from rehearsals, we also found someone else to play the drums for us so we weren't at a disadvantage. we could improve on stage presence and confidence but I think that will build over time. I would like to work on volume and trying to make myself sound better as a personal thing. I am very great full to be able to work in a band where we all get along very well and can improve each other honestly without judgement as I think that is very important to feel comfortable in practices where your going to make mistakes. I think performing weekly has boosted my confidence slightly as before college I wouldn't sing in-front of people at all and never really had now I have a chance to learn about my voice and how to perform with people.
