An artists name is very important in any genre of music. The name should be catchy allowing it to stick in your audiences mind. It should also highlight the musis they produce. So, in our case we have a solo female artist of the dance/poop genre. Through research and planning we discovered that alot of solo females vary in there name choices such as keeping your real name like Cheryl or to completely changing to what is called a stage name such as Charli XCX.
For our own audience research we decided to give four of names that varied from our 'singers' real name to stage names. (shown in table above). For our two stage names we choose Kayte X and Katie KX. our reasoning in choosing these is because we belived the names are striking and and stands out especially 'Kayte X' as its spelt differently to how it is usually. We also agreed on adding an X at the end of these names as it makes them appear more girly, which for this genre the female is often percieved as. The other option we used was our singers birth name, Kate Seeley. We had this as an option as we believed it was simple yet catchy. Finally, our last name option was Kate Kash as we believed the allitertion would make it more memorable and also 'Kash' could be seen as slang spelling for cash, connoting money and fame which is what celebrities are seen for.
However audience feedback has proven that Kate Seeley was the most popular with 46.88% of the overall votes. Coming in second closest was Kayte X and Katie Kash both with 18.75% but each was still a huge 28.13% difference from Kate Seeley. Our audiences least favourite was Katie KX with only 15.63% choosing this name. So, with help from our audience we decided to go with Kate Seeley which we always origionally thought was catchy/girly and appropriate for our female solo dance artist.
