I have looked at many different unsigned musicians in order to attain a track for the music video. I have mostly been looking around the rock/acoustic/indie genre area. Here are some of the ones I found:
"Sierra The Serial Killer" by Austin Gibbs
This is a musician who is already considerably popular among fans of the rock genre;- such as fans of The Maine, Ryan Adams and Wilco. I liked this song because there was a good vibe to it, and the lyrics were telling a very clear story. I felt that I could use this song for the music video, but have no one lip-syncing to the song; all you can see is the storm going on. Or, as an alternative, only hints of the musician can be seen, like strumming the guitar or the back of their head, to show a sense of "anonymity" in the music video due to the fact that the song is not about himself at all, but about a girl he hypothetically met.
Another musician I found was named Amanda Baker, who has a very soulful voice, who could equally fit the genre of my choice. None of her songs can be found on YouTube, but on her Myspace, her videos can be viewed.
In the end, I decided to use a song by Brooklyn unsigned artist; Amber Rubarth, who is currently becoming increasingly popular in the acoustic music scene in the US. She also does not have any tracks available on YouTube, but her song "Pilot" which I have asked permission to use, can be listened to on www.myspace.com/amberrubarth. I, myself, really enjoy the track and it fits exactly with the genre I was aiming to use. In the next few days, I plan to start brainstorming and start annotating the lyrics in order to get a concept/plot to use for the music video.
