Over the summer I had to look for music to use in my music video. I looked on youtube for unsigned artists but could only really find covers of songs and not original songs, also no genres that i particularly liked. I then looked on mp3.com which has unsigned artists singing their songs and you can email them asking to use their songs, the website had artists for lots of different genres I wanted drum and bass but it did not include a lot of lyrics therefore it would be hard to make a video for it. I emailed a couple of people asking if I could use their songs but was unsuccessful. I also asked people that I knew if they knew any unsigned artists and If could use their song. My friend Tamara knew someone that had good music, could sing well with also his own song and knew that he would allow me to use his music for my video. His type music is alternative rock and he is in a band which is called black hole sky. I wanted to use this at first but then realized that a band would need to feature in my video and they i didn't know any bands that could. But then I found a girl called Emerald Jones and she said she could use her song for my video.
The process of finding my song was quite challenging as i initially didn't know anyone who sang and had their song, it was also hard to find websites that had unsigned artists with their own songs on it. I also had to ask a lot people if they knew anyone before finding someone that did. I am happy with my song choice as it is not too hard to create a video to go with the song. I also have easy access to good quality version of his song.
