Our targeted age is actually a wide range as everyone can understand our narrative concept. Our music genre is universal so would appeal to different ages and genders, as most can relate to the genre of music we are portraying. So our core audience for us are people who enjoy the genre of easy listening music which is most, it may not be there favourite genre as they may like RnB Or House Music for example but also it is the basic genre of music that people that different people can relate to and familiarise themselves with. However we also believe the music video would appeal to females more as they would possibly feel more emotionally attached to the narrative as opposed to a male audience.

5. How/ when/ where is this kind of music consumed?
This music would be consumed on the go, or whilst travelling maybe in the back of a VW campervan or even just relaxing in the comfort of your own home. I think it would be on a nice summer’s day in the park on the beach watching the sea with the wind in blowing on your face and the sun shining down
