I understand that musicians need to dress and to make your image the way it can fit your genre, but to me, I think image is not important. Trying to look fancy for the genre that you play, is pretty silly, in my opinion. With this, being “local” music, it shouldn’t matter how you dress or how your image is. In my own music career, I never took image seriously. I just wore whatever the hell I wanted on stage. I’ve always liked to look casual and normal. You don’t need these gimmicks to look like a rockstar, ya know? I look at image and stage presence just for show, like an attention seeking kind of thing.
All you need is the musical talent, that’s it. As long as you have the talent, people wouldn’t care how you look. When I get my own rock n’ roll band going, we’re not going be wearing leather jackets or have make-up on our faces. We’ll just be ourselves.
Music shouldn’t be about the looks, anyway.
