Lorde is nineteen years old and already has two Grammy Awards, ten New Zealand Music Awards, the title of one of Time magazine’s Most Influential Teens, and a coveted spot on Forbes’s 30 Under 30 List. After releasing her first album entirely for free on SoundCloud, she quickly rose to prominence and has become known as a truly great musician; and a truly unique one was well.
Here are a few ways musicians can learn from Lorde’s uniqueness:
1. Choose an unforgettable stage name.
Lorde was born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor; she was fascinated with aristocracy and royalty as a child and settled on the name as a way to make ‘lord’ feminine. Although Lorde’s birth name is obviously great in itself, her decision to adopt a stage name truly enhanced her presence and persona in the music industry.
It is not necessarily essential, but don’t be afraid to choose a stage name that stands out.
2. Create your own unique performance style.
Lorde has become known for her unique performance style; the way she dances and reacts to the music is truly unlike any other artist. When creating music and performing, try to develop a personal and unique performance style that matches your music.
3. Write your own music.
The uniqueness of Lorde’s music is inexplicably tied to the fact that she writes almost all of it herself. Her cryptic, descriptive, and personal lyrics make each track undeniably compelling. If you can, write your own lyrics in order to create your own personal sound and vibe.
By writing her own lyrics and developing a personal performance style, Lorde has set herself apart from everyone else in the music industry. Any musician can draw inspiration from her poignant, distinct sound and the stories she tells.
