Background Research

The artist whose song we have chosen to remake is Kid Cudi (Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi). He is an american singer, producer and recently started acting. His biggest U.K hit is 'Day and Night' featuring The crookers, which is the song we will be producing a video to. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, America and grew up in shaker heights which is also in Ohio. In interviews he stated how his music and personality has been affected by the fact his father died when he was only aged 11, this is shown in most of his music through a slow beat and gloomy words throughout most of his music. He has also said that his inspirations towards music were alternative Hip-Hop group, such as The Pharcyde and A trice called West.

  1. What 'character' is your band member going to have? Trying to recreate an American feel will be virtually impossible, look at British Hip Hop artists and see what elements you can take.
