Alyshen: Bio In the next few slides I will show you basic information about Alyshen and how far he has gone to get his work know

Bio: Alyshen is a musician who also composes and write’s songs. They tend to follow

and electric style that sweeps across several genres. His unique global sound is a result of carefully crafted compositions that rise high above the ethnic and language barriers. Alyshen can change adapt and evolve his art to his current surroundings. He is a true creative chameleon.

Alyshen, like most artists started out in a choir. Alyshen choir was part of the school church. At the age of 11 he was invited in to a music studio and introduced in to a produce. Alyshen says about the experience; “For the first time I experienced a professional atmosphere and expert musicians. Immediately, I felt the connection and began developing my musical passion.”

His first big success was in his early teen years, where he was the lead vocalist of a boy band trio. After leaving the band at age fifteen, he composed his first song “I’ll Go No2” which received good air play.

Leaving home at the age of eighteen, Alyshen moved to Russia to attend the prestigious Saint Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts. After attending the University, he spent time traveling across the world performing at venues and parks.

Alyshen released his debut album, The Revolution of Me in 2010. The seventeen-track album exemplifies his experience in various musical styles, containing elements of soul, r&b, dance and pop.

His musical influences are drawn from his lifelong interest in a broad range of styles. “I have never boxed myself into listening to one type of music,” says Alyshen. Since childhood, he has enjoyed the works of artists from pop, electronic, jazz and even music from the 1950s and 60s. Along with this exposure to many artists and genres, Alyshen’s style and understanding of how to express his thoughts through his songs has evolved. He composes his own lyrics and melodies while basing his material on real-life experiences. “Whatever genre I am working in, I aim for a sound that has a sensual, strong and is laden with emotional affect.”

Social NetworkingNow I will display all the information shown on the first medium that I checked to find more information about Alyshen

Facebook was the first medium that I decided to try to find Alyshen and I was amazed that on Facebook he had very few likes. Likes can determine a lot about a business. So I assumed that he did not have much luck with his music.

After looking on his Facebook wall a bit more I saw that he had a very nice range of pictures on there. The majority where head shots but they did include some full body/long shots and mid shots.

Facebook.

This is a print screen of the information on his page. As you can see the Biography I have already included previously.

The most shocking part of this for me was the amount of websites he had attacked him self to. There were 8 websites to check out. Also on this information we can see that he is a member of a record label – the Melodic Revolution Records, we can see his genre’s – Pop R&B Soul etc, and his influences in more detail.

The next website I check out that he had was the more popular social media website for band’s and artists – MySpace. Again on here we can see that there are many more pictures but these ones were very different from the ones on Facebook. Facebook has a different target audience compared to MySpace. He is trying to appeal to fans via Facebook and record labels via MySpace.

MySpace

MySpace provided me with the style of the artists. This follows on form the urban youth culture that I have been researching. The look of Alyshen in the above

photo, it is smart yet casual, silk non creased blazers with text splashed a crossed a t-shirt, jeans and a belt.

MySpace cont. In this picture we see Alyshen sitting on a stone

block wearing different shades of the colour blue. It looks like he is wearing a t-shirt and jeans, with

a hoody or jumper acting as a scarf. This is another possible artist image that I could

recreate for my artist.
