Searching for a singer
Initially, when I had to begin my search for an artist, I didn't really know where to start. Even though I knew a few singers, finding out whether they had their own recorded tracks was proving to be difficult. I started to look through my social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to see if any of my friends/mutual friends had high interests in singing.
To start of with it was quite hard to find somebody who had a passion for singing, as a lot of people simply just did it as a bobbie and did not have the time to help me out. However after searching for a while I came down to a few names of people who were easy to get in contact with, were not a signed artist and were also very passionate about singing and wanted to make a career out of it.
Encounting problems
I did have a few problems with finding an aritst along the way. I orignally found somebody who's style of music was mellow and suited what I 'wanted' to do more, however after a while it was clear that we would have problems recording the song's he had written to a professional standard that would actually come across as 'powerful' on my video.
Unfortunatly, I had to let go of my singer and I decided to attempt a new style of music.
Originally I rejected using an upbeat song, as I found that after filming my AS film openeing 'Return Me' I definitly preffered slow editing with quite 'gritty' themes. However after research, I did find that it would be possible to record the same way I like, with an upbeat song!
Using a DJ
I decided to use an up and coming DJ named as 'Pandaman UK' who has up to 700 followers on the infamous music sharing site Soundcloud. After listening to a few of his tracks, I found one that intriguied me and also included lyrics that can be lip synced in my video. I did not hestitate to contact him. He instantly agreed and was very happy to give me the 'go ahead' to download.
His bio reads;
PandaMan is an 18 year old Vocal/Deep/G-House Producer and DJ. His music career may have started in the deep underground, playing Drum and Bass in warehouses with a safety level of a prison on the Mexican Coast however after the colossal transformation to House, he realised all importance with the dreams to be the headlining name on your favourite dance fest!
"I have always loved dance music. For years House music has been one of the only types of music I listened to, and after a while I believed that I could have a chance in being just as good as my favorite artists. I started up my soundcloud account and simply thought 'why not' and started posting instantly. My follow up has been great and I get tons of support from not only my friends but other aritsts too. Its a great feeling after finishing a track and I hope in the future I can be extremely succesful with my passion"

Combining the punchy Deep/G House style with future vocals, Panda’s aims are to make girls with straw hats jump on the muscular shirtless man next to them and throw out their sun burnt arms horizontally screaming as if anyone can hear them over 150K worth of sound on a beach in the middle of nowhere.
I hope you enjoy my style, leave feedback its all welcome!
I then decided to ask him a few other questions, just to get the best background information I could. In which he responded;
