Artist Update.

Kaneo has recently become part of Wiz Khalifa's musical entourage, Taylor Gang, named after the Converse Chuck Taylor shoes. Due to this, we are looking to incorporate elements of their style into the video if possible, due to the large influence he has had on our artist.

Other Simular Artists.

We looked at other artists to try and find one with the most similarities to ours. we chose Kanye West for many reasons. Kanye is a world renowned MC, singer and record producer. Kaneo is someone who is also known as a 'triple threat' (being able to do the major things above) he hasn't quite hit the heights that Kanye has, but has massive potential to do so. We believe that in the music industry our artist would share many of Kanyes characteristics, ie. style, music genre and image.
Jay sean is another example of a similar artist to ours, taking a slightly more 'pop' spin on hip hop, much like some of Kaneos work.
