Artists' Visual Identity.
One thing that I've noticed being a Member of NLN is that we don't talk about the importance of an Artists' Visual Identity. As y'all can see this is my New Stagewear and my moniker is Darklore Enchantè- Tha Trve Black Hellion and I'm forming a new EXTREME MUSIC Band called CHARNEL VEIL- A Black/Death/Harsh Noise/Thrash Quintet based out of Seattle, WA. I am the Frontman/Bandleader and my style/fashion showcases what I consider to be the KING OF THE DAMNED. I didn't put on my makeup for these shots because I was trying the skirt on with my boots, cape, spikes and gloves to see how I look and I must say, I look badass in this fit! So, yes, your Visual Identity is just as importance as your music because it's a part of your Brand. Look at Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Tezo Touchdown, Pretty Boy, Drake, KISS, Metallica, Sleep Token, Slipknot, Eric B. & Rakim(especially Rakim), J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, DR. Dre, NLE Choppa, Lil Nas X, Tanner Adell, Spiritbox, Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion, Taylor Swift, MJ and Prince. ALL OF THESE ARTISTS/BANDS/MUSICIANS HAVE THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL VISUAL IDENTITY and I encourage all of y'all to make sure that you know your visual identity and if you don't know yet, Sit down, close your eyes and listen to your music. This will help you figure out your V.I. because your goal is to meditate what you visualize yourself looking like and how you're going to perform onstage. Think about the colors you want to represent and what they say about your brand, write it all down and execute it because at the end of the day, you want your fan-based community to see what treat is in-store for them to eat up, wants seconds and take home for leftovers. Your Artist Visual Identity is what they'll remember for life. 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
