Found you through a comment in a video about the making of music videos and wow your channel is really interesting! I'll reach 1000subs soon on my music channel and I'd like to rebrand after that and get closer to where I wanna be as an artist also with the visuals. I'm definitely going to check out more of your content, I just subscribed!

[@effisummerscreative]

thank you! I hope it helps. Great idea to recalibrate and check that your branding is on point. It does evolve over time so regular checks help make sure it still feels authentic and exciting 😊 What are your goals as a music artist?

[@SilviaCorvasce]

@@effisummerscreative thank you so much! I'm a singer songwriter, but I know that my type of music is a pretty niche one, expecially in Italy where I'm from. That's because I look up to northern folk music. I feel very deeply a connection to nature and a more spiritual conception of music and that is what I would like to incorporate in my branding, I'll see how that goes. My biggest music inspiration is AURORA from Norway, however I'm working hard on defining differences between what inspires me of her and what I want to be as an artist.

[@effisummerscreative]

Silvia Corvasce I think you’ve got a really exciting niche! The mix of cultures and influential elements with your own unique ones, this could be really great. If you can create visuals that represent that perfectly then you’re on to a winner 😁 Well done on taking time to define all that, it will definitely pay off!

[@SilviaCorvasce]

@@effisummerscreative thank you so so much for the advice and the encouragement! It means a lot! 😊

[@effisummerscreative]

Any sugestions to a mascot? Think I will do a re-design soon, where I get a new head made. The head design is pretty much locked in, but I pretty much wear the same, just mix it up with the tee's. Do you think the 90's skater minimalist style works, or could I do something more entertaining, while still staying genuine?

[@effisummerscreative]

Chent Saus do you mean having a mascot on stage? The tiger head? I love it! I think the tiger head is such a dominant part of the look that a more minimalist style for the rest of the outfit could definitely work 😁👍 you could do something more ‘out there’ for shoots and videos maybe?

[@chent]

@@effisummerscreative Yeah, like the new design is a bit more toony, but pretty much the same. That makes alot of sense. I started wondering what deadmau5 and marsmello wears, but it took me some time to remember. I think deadmau5 looks very genuine, because it is usualy just a nice tee and jeans. marsmello just got a white jumpsuit it seems. As a tiger, I think wearing stripes is a nice style, and the keeping it simple and consistant will probebly be a good look in the long run. Thanks alot, let me know if you are ever in Norway. Stay awesome!

[@effisummerscreative]

Chent Saus awesome! Looking at similar artists’ style will always help 😁 ah will do! 🇳🇴

[@danfrancisowen]

Nice one Effie, great advice! Loving what you're about! Dan

[@effisummerscreative]

thanks so much ☺️✌🏼

[@PsyIn2D]

Hmm really interesting. Definitely gunna give all of this some thought for my band and just for me. Thanks for boiling these concepts down into really concentrated stock cubes that I can just add hot water to 😂

[@effisummerscreative]

PsyIn2D hahaha amazing analogy 😅 hope it helps 😁

[@karly3505]

loved the video! could you do one focused on females? I think great female examples would be Billie Eilish orJanelle Monáe

[@effisummerscreative]

Thank you, glad it helped 😊 Yes of course! Billie is such a queen 👌

[@theirishbob]

Don't copy anyone willingly

[@effisummerscreative]

Nicky Wicks 😁

[@AliJr_MetalGames_MetalGuitar]

Don't tell that to Zeppelin or Metallica

[@theirishbob]

@@AliJr_MetalGames_MetalGuitar Or every single rapper in this day and age

[@AliJr_MetalGames_MetalGuitar]

@@theirishbob yeah that too

[@effisummerscreative]

Haha this is exactly what I’m trying to help with. I want smaller artists to carve their own way rather than dressing like ‘this person’ or making a video like ‘that band’ as I think it’ll give them the best chance for success (obviously along with other factors that need to be there) 😊 otherwise you end up with a million copycats and no authenticity. Boo.
