Artist Research

Having looked at different musical genres I thought it would be beneficial to look deeper into some acts that I was personally interested in. I chose to look at Rizzle Kicks who are a rapping duo from Brighton. They released their first single in May 2011 so are relatively new to the mainstream music industry.
Both Jordan and Harley met whilst studying at the London School for Performing Arts and Technology commonly known as The Brit School. In their original music videos they got their friends to film them rapping on low budget cameras rented from the college. They have a 1980's hip-hop sound to them and use witty lyrics in order to captivate the audience. Their big break came when they were asked to make a song with X-Factor finalist Olly Murs which reached number one in the UK singles chart.
