Introducing Nina

I have found an artist who I will be basing my project on now.

She is a singer/songwriter and plays the acoustic guitar in a duet called 'Doeray'.
She performs at local venues to Bristol area and has a youtube channel that can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2C4dvHD4FGwf6F6VVqjrGA/feed

From looking at her channel, I have found she has covered a range of genres and artists and made them her own. She has performed covers from bands including Kings of leon as well as original tracks.  She prefers indie music with acoustic feels and strong vocals. This fits in well with my research as I can plan a performative video along with a storyline which will give me a lot of flexibility to get creative with.

The first screenshot is taken from one of their videos where they are performing live. The acoustic guitar with contrasting lighting effects gives spotlight focus on the two artists.This is a common technique used in acoustic and indie music so that the audience can focus on the interpretations that artist is delivering to the audience. In the second screenshot is a classic indie music set up: large technical kits surrounding a stage with backdrops advertising the band.

This is the live performance. If you listen to it in comparison with the actual original song, you can hear how they have put an upbeat spin on it where they show off their vocals.
