Natasha Sky is a solo artist but has a band who perform with her at live concerts and gigs as well as record the instruments Natasha can't do herself, e.g. the drums.
Natasha Sky is a 19 year old singer-songwriter from the suburbs of West Berkshire. She generally writes indie/alternative music about her travels and experiences, all ranging from the love of foreign cities to past romances.
She was spotted singing an original song at a school concert aged 16, where a fellow student had recorded and posted the video online. She became an internet superstar and was almost immediately offered several record deals.
Natasha Sky is doing an interview with Anthem after hiding behind a media black-out for a year, to promote her new album and tour, which come hand in hand with a new image and sound. The interview is to reassure her followers that she's coming back, but isn't the same person she was a year ago. It's different to her past work, so she's trying to appeal to both hers and Anthem's followers, as well as the whole world in general.
Sky's new appearance is very different to her old one, which is why she's doing this interview. Beforehand, her image would have been quite boho and pure to show to her audience that she is a good role model for teens. Now, her publicist wants her audience to grow up with her, and this means an edgier look to match her edgier sound.
The location for the photoshoot will be outside, rich in earth colours such as browns and greens. The main focus, beside Natasha Sky, will be the run-down skateboarding ramp which she will be standing on. Covered in graffiti and completely worn out, it adds to the rustic and edgy sound of Sky's new album, Now. The indie background matches the indie style of the magazine, as well as the artist herself. There will be a series of shots, ranging from close ups portraits to landscape long shots. There will also be a variety of poses, with some looking away from the camera and others where she's looking directly at the camera, as if she's making eye contact with the readers.
In the photos, Natasha will be wearing roughly the outfit below.
My chosen model, Tara Banahan, suited my magazine well as she had the look that I was going for; girly but edgy. With the right make up and costume, she suits the magazine perfectly. To add to this, her style and image reflects the target audience's in the way that they stand out from the crowd in their own way.
Other Artists
Other artists who will feature on the page will be fictional bands who follow the indie/alternative genre of this magazine. In total, there will be roughly 15 artists on the contents page due to the average artists mentioned in real magazines is 17-20. They will follow as:
- Amber Fire
- Sound
- Pause (one of the only other artists to have their picture on the contents and/or front page)
- Jocelyn (one of the only other artists to have their picture on the contents and/or front page)
- Radio Fun
- Pascal and the Funk
- Tokyo Ring
- The Cause
- Samara + the Crew
- The Album
- Boomboxes
- Closure
- Natasha Sky
These artists will be featured on the front page as cover lines, and then will have pictures on the contents page so that the audience can recognise their faces and easily identify who they are. The artists are also needed so that the readers have more than one reason to buy the magazine; if they aren't a fan of Natasha Sky, then they can read about other bands and musicians they are fans of.
Pause, a duo, and Jocelyn will be featured on the front cover and/or contents page with their pictures to appeal to and cater for the target audience's needs. Jocelyn will be on the front cover while Pause will be on both, like Natasha Sky.
