Phoebe Ryan is an American singer whom I found via YouTube when she released her cover mash-up of R.Kelly's - 'Ignition' combined with Miguel's - 'Do you like drugs?' on 21st January 2015. Her R.Kelly mash-up cover was released on SoundCloud and collected 349,000 plays to date. Her voice caught my attention as it is very similar to Ellie Goulding's, she has a naturally good voice rather than artists who have to edit their songs and use a lot of auto-tuning.Furthermore, her music is the same style as Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding and Jess Glynne which are all current artists in the charts and so my music video would sell to the target audience.
Since then Phoebe released a single called 'Mine', the song which I am going to be using in my music video for my coursework, on 18th February 2015 which reached 927,878 hits on YouTube. From creating and posting this single on YouTube, the singer has received support from Taylor Swift, a worldwide phenomenon, who posted on Instagram a list of new artists, that she wrote herself, that she would recommend her fans and others should listen to. 'Mine' was one of the tracks mentioned. This would have been a great advantage for Phoebe to boost her profile in order for her music to be heard worldwide.
Below is Phoebe's video for 'Mine'...
Phoebe also released another music video onto YouTube on 15th July 2015 which is called 'Dead' (video shown below). For my music video, the track was a decision between both 'Mine' and 'Dead' however, I have chosen 'Mine' as it is very similar to the tracks that are in the present charts and what the young audience are more likely to download.
