Ideal audience member/audience research

Our ideal audience member is either male or female. They are American, with maybe half Jamaican of African ethnicity's. The audience member listens to R&B and Rap music which can be soulful or fast paced. Tha age of our target audience is between 17-24 which is a wide range, but our music genre appeals to a wide range of people and ages. Our song is a slow, melodic song, which means it is aimed more at a female audience, I have gathered this information by looking through other slow R&B songs on youtube such as Drakes, showing that due to the 'love' theme of the songs, more girls listen to them and relate to them. I have seen comments from the male audience, putting negative feedback on artists songs due to them being too slow and girly. Although our song could fit into this category, we aim to make our video versatile so it appeals to both the male and female audience.
