Artist Genre

AJ Rafael is an artist that mainly plays acoustic songs. Sometimes he plays either pop or rock variations of  his songs or make completely new songs using these genres of music.



This song "She Was Mine" had a little pop attribute to it and at the same time some acoustic feels to it. This music video also represents that relaxing acoustic feel too by using minimal editing and thus causing smooth transitions. This helps with that smooth jive and rhythm to the music helping mix visuals with rhythm.



In this music video "Without You" The artist (AJ) decided to take a performance based music video in order to convey the feeling of the music. In this song the rhythm isn't as smooth as the previous but more dramatic thus performance based music video befits it.







Another Artist I know that has a very similar style to him is David Choi. He usually associates his acts with that of an acoustic act and certain times he does some pop acts as well. Most of his songs are about love which is very similar to that of AJ's songs.



Unlike AJ however is that all his acts are solo and doesn't resemble that of a rock song as much. He prefers to use sounds from orchestral musics and strings. Sometimes a little jazz to smooth it out as well.




In this song he uses a lot of soft sounding instruments to give that little gentle feel to the song such as the triangle or the glockenspiel. Some parts also has the sound of a harp in it to give that harmonizing effect to it. The overall feel to the music video with it's minimal design shows the simplicity of the song. Straight forward and simple it helps convey the message across straight away that David wants her by his side.
