Audience Profile



Name: William Graham (Wajj)
Age: 17
Occupation: Full Time A-Level Student

Wajj is a massive music fan, keeping up to date with the punk and hardcore side of music, enjoying artists such as 'A Day To Remember', 'Emmure' and 'Parkway Drive'. His taste in music relates to the music genre of The Reynold Project (TRP), giving him an immediate conection to the artist and the style of the magazine i aim to produce. He enjoys going to gigs and festivals such as 'Download Festival', which ties in well with the music genre he listens too and with the type of magazine I want to create. When i showed pictures of TRP to Wajj and played him some of there songs he instantly took a liking to them, saying how their image matched his and what he likes to see in artists, adding how their sound was head banging, fist pumping and crowd surfing worthy, quoting "they sound to be the best up and coming hardcore band". He described TRP's image to be a load of people who appear to be full of stupidity and madness, something the audience likes to see in an artist(s), a sense of reality and commonness which you can compare yourself too, making the magazine i aim to produce connect to my target audience as they can see themselves in the artists and relate  to them.
It's important for me to receive a good amount of positive feedback, showing that my target audience for my magazine has been met, especially from someone like Wajj who enjoys going out with his friends to gigs and spending the large amount of money to go to festivals which relate to his favoured genre of music, someone who has a keen music taste and knows when he's read and heard something with great potential.

  1. Great start Amber.

    These gigs, where are they, how do you get there? Is there a hardcore scene in Leics or do you have to travel to it? Is hardcore mainstream? What else is involved in the hardcore scene (I'd like to point out that I cringe every time I write the word scene, feel like a 50 year old dad when I type it) like skating, manga, anime, webculture, social media etc?

    Who are the 'big' bands etc?
