Rebecca Nobrega and “Rebecca’s Creations…” is a regular column for HorizonVU Music. Rebecca was born in Toronto, Ontario. Her interests include marketing, design, and of course, styling. She keeps a close listen and watch on the Indie music and fashion scene . She loves working and always strives for success.

This week’s column zeros in on a very talented musician determined to show the world what she’s got. Her name is Kris Doty. There is not much on her biography, but like any artist, she is an aspiring figure in the music world. Her music is Indie and alternative. As an Indie artist, the talent she brings to her peers is none like no other. All original-unique. She expresses her total self from inner emotions to personal experiences.

Being an artist is a very powerful. It allows one to express themselves in the best way they know. They are able to share themselves with< others and for others to enjoy. With music, it is not about the end of the road. It can be said that the music industry consists of a series of events. A never ending road. Though one may become discovered and an international icon, it is not all about the money or the fame. Even fame is only a milestone. Music is about being you and releasing a different side of you. It is about sharing with others what life means whether it is through lyrics or the sound of a guitar. Like many musicians if not all, Kris Doty believes in the power of song writing and what it means to be independent, Just like a song that requires creativity, personal style defines their character as well.

Listening to her music, Kris is very talented and knows how to compose a piece of art. As seen in pictures, she is always dressed in such a way representing who she is and revealing her true character. She is dressed very laid back, whether it’s a simple tee or tank top. However, there’s a lot more to being casual. Kris chooses to dress up too and play up her style. She’s seen wearing cowboy boots, a-line skirts. She has a dressy-casual look.

She is an artist who dresses and has style in many ways. She is able to still perform her fabulous music no matter what outfit she wears. For an everyday person most people think that is not practical to imitate an artists look as they expect it to be very expensive. But! People need to consider that achieving a look is not about being identical. It is about adding your personal touch to the outfit, and do so in an affordable way. Yes that is very possible! All it takes is having an idea on how to dress and manipulating the look. You can even shop at all your favourite stores where the price suits you! Just like an artist who composes their own music and style, fashion and wardrobe is also a piece of art and individuality.

So remember! When you want a look that a celebrity has-it is very possible! Just because one may wear Gucci does not mean you have to be a copycat! Kris Doty is a very talented artist who has great taste. She is not pretending to be anyone but herself. She is a true independent artist. Please make sure to check her out!
