N-Dubz

www.myspace.com/ndubz

If you’re a music artist you can use myspace to create your own music artist page, these are different from the standard myspace pages,. The page that I’m looking at is made by the UK Hip-Hop/RnB act N-Dubz. When you go on the page you’re attention is most likely going to turn to the box in the top right which contains the four songs that are currently featured on the page, below is a list of blog entries published by the artists and just below that is an ‘About N-Dubz section’. Then to the left is a column which has more info about the group, including the members, the official website and their influences. Although there are specific headings on the page, the group doesn’t exactly stick to it, as instead of actually listing their influences, they put up one of their music videos.

Obviously you wouldn’t be visiting this site if you wanted to find out about another artist, you visit it if you’re specifically interested in N-Dubz. You could want to check out there songs, which aren’t available for download, or you may want to find out more about them, or just comment them and let them know that you like them.

The page has a lot to do with marketing N-Dubz, the site really promotes their album/single release dates and the fact they put up songs but make them unavailable for download means you’d want to buy the single, they also have pictures of posters which promote shows which they are going to be performing at.

The media texts relevant are obviously everything to do with N-Dubz, from themselves to the albums/singles they’re releasing, also the blogs they post although at the moment they haven’t used that section yet.

Interactivity and narrowcasting are definitely key concepts, myspace is all about interactivity as you make an account, make friends than interact with them , narrowcasting is shown on the page as not everyone would listen to this music, only certain people.
