Our Artist

• We have selected a song by the artist Jose Vanders for our music video project.
• Jose is a singer songwriter from London. She is 19 years old, meaning she is a similar age to us, this makes her a character who we can easily relate to.
• We have realised that Jose already has a style, however as we will be using another girl in the video we believe we can mold our own version of 'Jose' and completely change her brand identity.
• We found this artist through the website myspace and immediately set upon researching her further on the internet. We discovered that she has a website of her own, which features a section dedicated to her songs.
• We carefully listened to all of her music, which we found had a very lighthearted and upbeat feeling to it which we really liked.
• We eventually chose a song called 'Faces Going Places', which we chose because the lyrics were exciting and creative, whilst still being appropriate for a literal portrayal of them, that we were interested in pursuing.
  
• After we had chosen our artist and the song we wished to use, we had to make contact with her to ask her permission to use her track for copyright reasons and to avoid infringing them. We constructed an e-mail which we sent to her, asking for this permission, it can be seen below.
