My artist represents the social group of youths aged 15-25 with a typical party lifestyle as he fits into this category himself, this is seen by the type of clothing he wears.
My artist and a real producing artist: Stormzy, both have similarities and differences. They are similar in terms of ethnicity with both artists descending from Nigeria but having lived in England all their lives, while it is hard to see due to the black and white effect they are both wearing black outfits which is common for Grime artists, their clothes also look very laid back as though they are not trying too hard to look good. Both artists are quite tall and skinny with neutral facial expressions that show a lack of emotion but also give a focused look. The difference between these artists are that Stormzy has a beard, facial hair is very common with grime artists where as my artist has none which gives them a younger appearance, also Stormzy has a much darker skin tone than my artist.
Chavers is the social group on UK tribes that best fit the artist and those who listen to the music, they are described by the following on the website: Chavers are all about the big night out - drugs, booze, dancing and getting smashed with their mates. The UK tribes page also talks about their love of electronic dance music which is not true in this case but the description is still the closest representation of the artist.
Remember to use UK tribes to identify the social group. Next analyse the mise en scene of your images (just as you would do with a TV drama sequence) to help analyse how you have represented your chosen social group. Currently this answer is far too brief.
