We have finally chosen our unsigned artist, Jose Vander's. Her music and image is very similar to artists such as -

• Regina Spektor
• Kate Nash
• Laura Marling

All the artists are English and all write their own songs. Both Laura Marling and Regina Spektor play accoustic music and play an instrument, just like Jose Vanders who plays the piano. You find with these artists that their instruments are just as important as them and are played in most of their songs. Kate Nash is not really an accoustic artist but has a similar sound to Jose Vander's, both artists genre of music includes alternative and their lyrics tend to be a bit more random such as 'two little ladies sat eating their biscuits' - Jose Vanders, or 'I have a family and I drink cups of tea' - Kate Nash. Kate Nash is more mainstream which differs from Jose, but originally she was unsigned just like Jose is now and her music would of been alot more similar at that point. Kate Nash and Jose Vanders also have a similar image which tends to be old fashioned and individual, and they don't have the sex appeal of alot of young female artists today who wear tight clothes and have alot of flesh showing.
