Due to work having to be original I needed to create a new name for my artist instead of being called the original which is 'Artful Dodger and Tina Moore.' I needed a name the shows the 'garage' culture so naming my artists something like 'Princess Barbie' would be inappropriate so I decided to come up with a couple of names and decided on the best. Here is some of the ideas I came up with:
-Speed way - Garage music is often associated with flash cars and speed so this could be a suitable name
-United Dynamite - Garage music was created in the UK so 'united' For 'United Kingdom' and 'Dynamite' for the artist being explosive and reckless.
- Miz Carrol - Instead of having the ladylike 'Miss' I've gone for 'Miz' this street talk and gives it the garage sound. Also my artists last name is Carrol.
-C.C - C.C is short and simple and instead of her names she has her entails. This also reflects back on tagging in the graffiti world which is also associated with garage music.
-Cazza - Cazza is a nickname for the performers last name 'Carrol.' Garage music is much like hip-hop they have nicknames for their real names. This is because of the background its from.
**I have decided to use the performance name of C.C because its short and easy to remember. It also gives garage a little sophistication which will make her stand out in the 'Grage' music industry. It will also look good to create a logo with this.
I also need to create an Album name for the album. Ive come up with a couple ideas:
-Flow - This could be a possible option because music 'Flows with the rhythm.'
-Movin' up - This is because its the artists new and first album so she is 'Movin' up' in the music industry world. Instead of calling it 'Moving up' I've called it 'Movin' up' This a street slang and it relates back to its value.
-Shapes - This is also a possible option because another name for dancing is making 'shapes' so this relates to the bricolage of Garage music.
**I have decided to use Movin' up because I think it relates best with my audience and represents and conotates what my artist stands for.
