Analysing star personas through Instagram


This is Passenger and his star persona is that he is a very down to earth and normal guy who is successful but he does show a lot of shots from his concerts and gigs that are extremely aesthetically pleasing. This is his way of showing what style of performance he creates for his audiences and that he isn't just this singer/songwriter that just does folk music but instead he is this impressive and down to earth singer who can put on a good show for anyone who watches. 

Panic! at the disco is a guy that plays pop-punk music that and are a very relaxed group of people who just mainly like to have fun and not worry about anything and this is shown in their music videos and their social media posts. Brendon Urie's star persona is very smart and fun as is shown in this Instagram post of him at Universal studios Horror Nights having fun showing that he still enjoys to do the things that everybody else does and just loosen up. This is also shown in his music videos where we see him just having fun with what ever it is he ends up doing. 

Nickelback is a Canadian rock band that has been very successful with getting its songs into films even nowadays even though they were formed in 1995. This Instagram post is to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their album silver side up and this is advertising the album of the band as it is probably one of their better albums that was more successful and this is also a way fo the band promoting their own material to their audience to try and get a few extra streams. 



Imaging Dragons are an American pop rock band that are from Las Vegas and have become big because of their lead vocalist Dan Reynolds. This Instagram post shows that Dan Reynolds is a popular figure and the Kelly Clarkson Show is a very popular American day time TV show and the fact that Big Shaq and Dan are on it together might hint at a collaboration of the two artists in the future. 


In this Instagram post we can see Britney Spears modelling and this helps to create her star persona and of this successful and attractive singer that she is the face of so many different themes and this photo helps to show the playful side of Britney and it helps to let the audience connect to the artist more by showing that she is fun but professional. 







This is Coldplay and they were formed in London in 1996 as a rock band but unconventionally for a rock band they have a pianist by the name of Chris Martin. This Instagram post shows the band Coldplay as they are working behind the scenes on a song while they are also trying too show the their relaxed and playful side as the band are having a laugh while also  working on one of their songs in the final stages of the process that we don't know of exactly. 






This is from Eminems (or Marshal Bruce Mathers III) Instagram and he is an American rapper, songwriter and record producer. This post is promoting the new Venom film that is coming out soon whilst he is also promoting a new song that he collaborated with three other songs to produce. The song is originally by Skylar Grey ft. Polo Capalot, Mozzy and Eminem. This post is connected to Eminems star persona because he does do a lot songs of his own when he asks other artists to feature in them and it shows that he is a good team player and happy to work with others. 


Drake (Aubrey Drake Graham) is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, actor and entrepreneur. In this post he is trying to advertise his new merchandise that is now available and the clothes are all very casual everyday clothing for everyone to wear when ever. The graphics on the clothing also are another way for him to promote and advertise a new single or album to anyone who sees someone wearing his merchandise. 




This is Avicii (Tim Bergling) he was a Swedish DJ and died on the 20th April 2018 of self inflicted purposes. In this post of Avicii we see him working hard and this is most likely a staged shot because of the lighting and the focus of the camera and so he was probably modelling for this post. But this post serves as a way of showing his star persona by the use of the colours and the expression on his face and it shows that when he was working there wasn't anything that was more important than his music even though it did lead him to some problems later on in his life.
