R + P Post 16: My band or artist

Our band/artist will be a duo consisting of one female and one male. Their name, together, with be MiraJax. The age of our artists will be early 20s - the female being 21 and the male being 23. Separately, their names are Mira and Jack but we shortened Jack to Jax to sound more catchy.

Below, I made two photo collages showing a rough idea of how our duo will be styled visually.

Richard Dyer's 'Star' theory

Dyer suggests that the audience often admire or relate to certain qualities the star promotes. This could include attitude, dress or even culture. Sometimes this can have a negative impact on the audience, say for example if the star is a drug addict/alcoholic, the audience would still idolise them. Our duo will have a laid-back, 'don't give a f*ck' attitude and promote self-love and being 'different' through both their image and their music. They've learnt to be this way through life experiences, and repeatedly being told, considering their rough upbringing, that they wouldn't get anywhere in the music industry.
